Psalms 2:1-2

2:1 Why do the nations rebel?

Why are the countries devising plots that will fail?

the rulers collaborate

against the Lord and his anointed king.

Psalms 3:1-2

Psalm 3

A psalm of David, written when he fled from his son Absalom.

Many attack me.

“God will not deliver him.” (Selah)

Psalms 22:11-13

22:11 Do not remain far away from me,

for trouble is near and I have no one to help me.

22:12 Many bulls surround me;

powerful bulls of Bashan hem me in.

22:13 They open their mouths to devour me

like a roaring lion that rips its prey.
