Psalm 2

Coronation of the Son

Why(A) do the nations rebel[a](B)
and the peoples plot in vain?(C)
The kings of the earth take their stand,(D)
and the rulers conspire together
against the Lord and His Anointed One:[b](E)
“Let us tear off their chains
and free ourselves from their restraints.”[c](F)

The One enthroned[d] in heaven laughs;
the Lord ridicules them.(G)

Psalm 2

Why do the nations conspire[a]
    and the peoples plot(A) in vain?
The kings(B) of the earth rise up
    and the rulers band together
    against the Lord and against his anointed,(C) saying,
“Let us break their chains(D)
    and throw off their shackles.”(E)

The One enthroned(F) in heaven laughs;(G)
    the Lord scoffs at them.
