1 Why do the nations protestand the peoples conspire in vain?
2 Kings on earth rise upand princes plot togetheragainst the Lord and against his anointed one:
3 “Let us break their shacklesand cast off their chains from us!”
4 The one enthroned in heaven laughs;the Lord derides them,
5 Then he speaks to them in his anger,in his wrath he terrifies them:
6 “I myself have installed my kingon Zion, my holy mountain.”
