2 Why are ^(A)the ^[a]nations restless
And the peoples ^(B)plotting in vain?
² The ^(C)kings of the earth take their stand
And the rulers conspire together
^(D)Against the Lord and against His ^[b](E)Anointed, saying,
³ “Let’s ^(F)tear their shackles apart
And throw their ropes away from us!”

⁷ Behold, they ^(A)gush forth with their mouths;
^(B)Swords are in their lips,
For, they say, “^(C)Who hears?”
