Psalm 2:1–4

CORONATION OF THE SON

1 Whyj do the nations ragek

and the peoples plot in vain?l

2 The kings of the earth take their stand,m

and the rulers conspire together

against the Lord and his Anointed One:B,n

3 “Let’s tear off their chains

and throw their ropes off of us.”o

4 The one enthronedC in heaven laughs;

the Lord ridicules them.p
