Psalm 2:2-6

The Reign of the Lord's Anointed

2 The kings of the earth set themselves,
and the rulers take counsel together,
against the Lord and against his t Anointed, saying,
 3 "Let us u burst their bonds apart
and cast away their cords from us."

4 He who v sits in the heavens w laughs;
the Lord holds them in derision.
 5 Then he will speak to them in his x wrath,
and terrify them in his fury, saying,
 6 "As for me, I have y set my King
on z Zion, my a holy hill."
