Psalms 2:1-3

1Why are the nations in an uproar [in turmoil against God], And why do the people devise a vain and hopeless plot?

2The kings of the earth take their stand; And the rulers take counsel together Against the Lord and His Anointed (the Davidic King, the Messiah, the Christ), saying,

3“Let us break apart their [divine] bands [of restraint] And cast away their cords [of control] from us.”
