1 Why do the nations rage, And the peoples meditate a vain thing?
         
                                
                        2 The kings of the earth set themselves, And the rulers take counsel together, Against Jehovah, and against his anointed, [saying],
         
                                
                        3 Let us break their bonds asunder, And cast away their cords from us.
         
                                
                        4 He that sitteth in the heavens will laugh: The Lord will have them in derision.
         
                                
                        5 Then will he speak unto them in his wrath, And vex them in his sore displeasure:
         
                                
                        6 Yet I have set my king Upon my holy hill of Zion.
         
                                
                        7 I will tell of the decree: Jehovah said unto me, Thou art my son; This day have I begotten thee.
