1 Why do the nations rebel?Why are the countries devising plots that will fail?
2 The kings of the earth form a united front;the rulers collaborateagainst the Lord and his anointed king.
3 They say, “Let’s tear off the shackles they’ve put on us!Let’s free ourselves from their ropes!”
4 The one enthroned in heaven laughs in disgust;the Lord taunts them.
5 Then he angrily speaks to themand terrifies them in his rage, saying,
6 “I myself have installed my kingon Zion, my holy hill.”
