1 Why do the nations conspire[a] and the peoples plot(A) in vain? 2 The kings(B) of the earth rise up and the rulers band together against the Lord and against his anointed,(C) saying, 3 “Let us break their chains(D) and throw off their shackles.”(E)
4 The One enthroned(F) in heaven laughs;(G) the Lord scoffs at them. 5 He rebukes them in his anger(H) and terrifies them in his wrath,(I) saying, 6 “I have installed my king(J) on Zion,(K) my holy mountain.(L)”
