Young's Literal Translation YLT
New International Version NIV
1 Why have nations tumultuously assembled? And do peoples meditate vanity?
1
Why do the nations conspireand the peoples plot in vain?
2 Station themselves do kings of the earth, And princes have been united together, Against Jehovah, and against His Messiah:
2
The kings of the earth rise up and the rulers band together against the LORD and against his anointed, saying,
3 `Let us draw off Their cords, And cast from us Their thick bands.'
3
“Let us break their chains and throw off their shackles.”
4 He who is sitting in the heavens doth laugh, The Lord doth mock at them.
4
The One enthroned in heaven laughs; the Lord scoffs at them.
5 Then doth He speak unto them in His anger, And in His wrath He doth trouble them:
5
He rebukes them in his anger and terrifies them in his wrath, saying,
6 `And I -- I have anointed My King, Upon Zion -- My holy hill.'
6
“I have installed my king on Zion, my holy mountain.”
