2  The kings of the earth set themselves,

and the rulers take counsel together,

against the Lord and against his ^tAnointed, saying,

3  “Let us ^uburst their bonds apart

and cast away their cords from us.”

4  He who ^vsits in the heavens ^wlaughs;

the Lord holds them in derision.

6  ^mThe nations rage, the kingdoms totter;

he ⁿutters his voice, the earth ^omelts.

8  God ^hreigns over the nations;

God sits on his holy throne.
