2:2 The kings of the earth 1 form a united front; 2
the rulers collaborate 3
against the Lord and his anointed king. 4
2:3 They say, 5 “Let’s tear off the shackles they’ve put on us! 6
Let’s free ourselves from 7 their ropes!”
2:4 The one enthroned 8 in heaven laughs in disgust; 9
the Lord taunts 10 them.
2:5 Then he angrily speaks to them
and terrifies them in his rage, 11 saying, 12
2:6 “I myself 13 have installed 14 my king
on Zion, my holy hill.”
