Psalms 2:1
Psalms 2:1 New International Version (NIV)
Why do the nations conspire and the peoples plot in vain?
Psalms 2:1-6 The Message (MSG)
Why the big noise, nations? Why the mean plots, peoples? Earth-leaders push for position, Demagogues and delegates meet for summit talks, The God-deniers, the Messiah-defiers: “Let’s get free of God! Cast loose from Messiah!” Heaven-throned God breaks out laughing. At first he’s amused at their presumption; Then he gets good and angry. Furiously, he shuts them up: “Don’t you know there’s a King in Zion? A coronation banquet Is spread for him on the holy summit.”
Psalms 2:1 King James Version (KJV)
Why do the heathen rage, And the people imagine a vain thing?
