Psa 2:1-9, 21:8-12, 72:9, 109:4-20, 110:5-6, Luk 19:27, Rev 19:14-21 | ESV | STEP | Why do the nations rage and the peoples plot in vain ?

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.”
7 I will tell of the decree:
The Lord said to me, ^l“You are my Son;
today I have begotten you.
8 Ask of me, and I will make the nations your heritage,
and ^mthe ends of the earth your possession.
9 You shall ⁿbreak ^{▼▼Revocalization yields (compare Septuagint) You shall rule} them with ^pa rod of iron
and dash them in pieces like ^qa potter’s vessel.”

Psalms 21:8-12

8 Your hand will ^rfind out all your enemies;
your right hand will find out those who hate you.
9 You will make them as ^sa blazing oven
when you appear.
The Lord will swallow them up in his ^twrath,
and ^ufire will consume them.
10 You ^vwill destroy their ^wdescendants from the earth,
and their offspring from among the children of man.
11 Though they plan evil against you,
though they ^xdevise mischief, they will not succeed.
12 For you will put them ^yto flight;
you will ^zaim at their faces with your bows.

Psalms 72:9

9 May desert tribes ^aabow down before him,
and his enemies ^ablick the dust!

Psalms 109:4-20

4 In return for my love they ^acaccuse me,
but I ^adgive myself to prayer. ^{▼▼Hebrew but I am prayer}
5 So they ^afreward me evil for good,
and hatred for my love.
6 ^agAppoint a wicked man ^ahagainst him;
let an accuser stand ^aiat his right hand.
7 When he is tried, let him come forth guilty;
let his ^ajprayer be counted as sin!
8 May his ^akdays be few;
may ^alanother take his ^amoffice!
9 May his ^anchildren be fatherless
and his wife a widow!
10 May his children ^aowander about and beg,
^apseeking food far from the ruins they inhabit!
11 May ^aqthe creditor seize all that he has;
may ^arstrangers plunder the fruits of his toil!
12 Let there be none to ^asextend kindness to him,
nor any to ^atpity his fatherless children!
13 May his ^auposterity be cut off;
may his ^avname be blotted out in the second generation!
14 May ^awthe iniquity of his fathers be remembered before the Lord,
and let not the sin of his mother be ^axblotted out!
15 ^ayLet them be before the Lord continually,
that he may ^azcut off the memory of them from the earth!
16 For he did not remember to show kindness,
but pursued ^bathe poor and needy
and ^bbthe brokenhearted, to put them to death.
17 ^bcHe loved to curse; let curses come ^{▼▼Revocalization; Masoretic Text curses have come} upon him!
He did not delight in blessing; may it be far ^{▼▼Revocalization; Masoretic Text it is far} from him!
18 He ^bfclothed himself with cursing as his coat;
may it ^bgsoak ^{▼▼Revocalization; Masoretic Text it has soaked} into his body like water,
like oil into his bones!
19 May it be like a garment that he wraps around him,
like a belt that he puts on every day!
20 May this be the reward of my ^biaccusers from the Lord,
of those who speak evil against my life!

Psalms 110:5-6

5 The Lord is at your ^bjright hand;
he will ^bkshatter kings on ^blthe day of his wrath.
6 He will ^bmexecute judgment among the nations,
^bnfilling them with corpses;
he will ^boshatter chiefs ^{▼▼Or the head}
over the wide earth.

Luke 19:27

27 But ^bqas for these enemies of mine, who did not want me to reign over them, bring them here and ^brslaughter them before me.’”

Revelation of John 19:14-21

14 And the armies of heaven, ^bsarrayed in fine linen, white and pure, ^btwere following him on white horses. 15 ^buFrom his mouth comes a sharp sword ^bvwith which to strike down the nations, and ^bwhe will rule them with a rod of iron. ^bxHe will tread the winepress of the fury of the wrath of God the Almighty. 16 On his robe and on his thigh ^byhe has a name written, ^bzKing of kings and Lord of lords.

17 Then I saw an angel standing in the sun, and with a loud voice he called to ^caall the birds that fly directly overhead, ^cb“Come, gather for ^ccthe great supper of God, 18 ^cdto eat the flesh of kings, the flesh of captains, the flesh of mighty men, the flesh of horses and their riders, and the flesh of all men, both free and slave, ^{▼▼Greek bondservant} both small and great.” 19 And I saw ^cfthe beast and the kings of the earth with their armies ^cggathered to make war against him who was sitting on the horse and against his army. 20 And the beast was captured, and with it ^chthe false prophet ^ciwho in its presence ^{▼▼Or on its behalf} had done the signs by which he deceived those who had received the mark of the beast and those who ^ckworshiped its image. These two were ^clthrown alive into the lake of ^cmfire that burns with sulfur. 21 And the rest were slain by the sword ^cnthat came from the mouth of him who was sitting on the horse, and ^coall the birds were gorged with their flesh.
