1  ^rWhy do ^sthe nations rage¹

and the peoples plot in vain?

2  The kings of the earth set themselves,

and the rulers take counsel together,

against the Lord and against his ^tAnointed, saying,

3  “Let us ^uburst their bonds apart

and cast away their cords from us.”

6  ^mThe nations rage, the kingdoms totter;

he ⁿutters his voice, the earth ^omelts.

13  he will ^pbless those who fear the Lord,

^qboth the small and the great.
