Psalm 2:1-4
English Standard Version

The Reign of the Lord's Anointed

2 (A)Why do (B)the nations rage[a]
    and the peoples plot in vain?
2 The kings of the earth set themselves,
    and the rulers take counsel together,
    against the Lord and against his (C)Anointed, saying,
3 “Let us (D)burst their bonds apart
    and cast away their cords from us.”

4 He who (E)sits in the heavens (F)laughs;
    the Lord holds them in derision.
