Psalms 2:1-6

Why do the heathen
<01471>

rage
<07283> (8804)_,

and the people
<03816>

imagine
<01897> (8799)

a vain thing
<07385>_?

{rage: or, tumultuously assemble} {imagine: Heb. meditate}

The kings
<04428>

of the earth
<0776>

set
<03320> (8691)

themselves, and the rulers
<07336> (8802)

take counsel
<03245> (8738)

together
<03162>_,

against the LORD
<03068>_,

and against his anointed
<04899>_,

[saying],

Let us break
<05423> (0)

their bands
<04147>

asunder
<05423> (8762)_,

and cast away
<07993> (8686)

their cords
<05688>

from us.

He that sitteth
<03427> (8802)

in the heavens
<08064>

shall laugh
<07832> (8799)_:

the Lord
<0136>

shall have them in derision
<03932> (8799)_.

Then shall he speak
<01696> (8762)

unto them in his wrath
<0639>_,

and vex
<0926> (8762)

them in his sore displeasure
<02740>_.

{vex: or, trouble}

Yet have I set
<05258> (8804)

my king
<04428>

upon my holy
<06944>

hill
<02022>

of Zion
<06726>_.

{set: Heb. anointed} {upon...: Heb. upon Zion, the hill of my holiness}
