Psalms 2:1-8

LEB(i) 1 Why are nations in tumult, and countries plotting* in vain?* 2 The kings of the earth establish themselves, and the rulers conspire* together against Yahweh and his anointed: 3 "Let us tear off their bonds, and cast their cords from us!" 4 He who sits enthroned in the heavens laughs. The Lord derides them. 5 Then he speaks to them in his wrath, and in his fury he terrifies them: 6 "But as for me, I have set my king on Zion, my holy mountain." 7 I will tell the decree; Yahweh said to me: "You are my son; today I have begotten you. 8 Ask from me and I will make the nations your heritage, and your possession the ends of the earth.
