Previous Chapter Previous Verse Full Chapter Next Verse Next Chapter
1 Why are the nations so violently moved, and why are the thoughts of the people so foolish?
2 The kings of the earth have taken their place, and the rulers are fixed in their purpose, against the Lord, and against the king of his selection, saying,
3 Let their chains be broken, and their cords taken from off us.
4 Then he whose seat is in the heavens will be laughing: the Lord will make sport of them.
5 Then will his angry words come to their ears, and by his wrath they will be troubled:
6 But I have put my king on my holy hill of Zion.
7 I will make clear the Lord's decision: he has said to me, You are my son, this day have I given you being.
