Psalms 2:1-5
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.
5Then he will speak to them in his hwrath,
and terrify them in his fury, saying,
John 11:47

25who through the mouth of our father David, your servant, ▼▼Or child; also verses 27, 30
said by the Holy Spirit, m“‘Why did the Gentiles rage,
and the peoples plot in vain?
26The kings of the earth set themselves,
and nthe rulers were gathered together,
against the Lord and against his oAnointed’ ▼
▼Or Christ
