Psa 2:1-6, Rev 11:15-18 | ESV | STEP | Why do the nations rage and the peoples plot in vain ?

Psalms 2:1-6

The Reign of the Lord’s Anointed

1 ^aWhy do ^bthe nations rage ^{▼▼Or nations noisily assemble}
and the peoples plot in vain?
2 The 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.
5 Then he will speak to them in his ^hwrath,
and terrify them in his fury, saying,
6 “As for me, I have ⁱset my King
on ^jZion, my ^kholy hill.”

Revelation of John 11:15-18

The Seventh Trumpet

15 Then ^lthe seventh angel blew his trumpet, and ^mthere were loud voices in heaven, saying, ⁿ“The kingdom of the world has become the kingdom of our Lord and of ^ohis Christ, and ^phe shall reign forever and ever.” 16 And the twenty-four elders ^qwho sit on their thrones before God ^rfell on their faces and worshiped God, 17 saying,

“We give thanks to you, Lord God Almighty,
^swho is and who was,
for you have taken your great power
and ^tbegun to reign.
18 The nations raged,
but ^uyour wrath came,
and ^vthe time for the dead to be judged,
and for rewarding your servants, ^{▼▼Greek bondservants} the prophets and saints,
and ^xthose who fear your name,
both small and great,
and ^yfor destroying the destroyers of the earth.”
