The Reign of the Lord’s Anointed
1 aWhy do bthe nations rage ▼▼Or nations noisily assemble
and the peoples plot in vain?
2The kings of the earth set themselves,
and the rulers take counsel together,
against the Lord and against his dAnointed, saying,
3“Let us eburst their bonds apart
and cast away their cords from us.”
4 He who fsits in the heavens glaughs;
the Lord holds them in derision.

16 For hdogs encompass me;a company of evildoers iencircles me;
they have jpierced my hands and feet ▼
▼Some Hebrew manuscripts, Septuagint, Vulgate, Syriac; most Hebrew manuscripts like a lion [they are at] my hands and feet
—17I can count all my bones—
they lstare and gloat over me;
