Psalms 2:4 in context

Psalms 2:1–7

1

Why do the nations rage,

and the peoples plot a vain thing?

2

The kings of the earth take a stand,

and the rulers take counsel together,

against the LORD, and against his Anointed, saying,

3

“Let’s break their bonds apart,

and cast their cords from us.”

4
Selected verse

He who sits in the heavens will laugh.

The Lord will have them in derision.

5

Then he will speak to them in his anger,

and terrify them in his wrath:

6

“Yet I have set my King on my holy hill of Zion.”

7

I will tell of the decree:

The LORD said to me, “You are my son.

Today I have become your father.
