Psalms 2:1-7

1 Why are the nations in an uproar, the peoples grumbling in vain?
2 The earth's kings are taking positions, leaders conspiring together, against ADONAI and his anointed.
3 They cry, "Let's break their fetters! Let's throw off their chains!"
4 He who sits in heaven laughs; Adonai looks at them in derision.
5 Then in his anger he rebukes them, terrifies them in his fury.
6 "I myself have installed my king on Tziyon, my holy mountain."
7 "I will proclaim the decree: ADONAI said to me, 'You are my son; today I became your father.
