What Makes God Laugh? (aside from Shirley McLaine)

1 Why are (A) the nations in an uproar and the peoples (B) devising a vain thing?

2 The (C) kings of Earth take their stand and the rulers take counsel together (D) against the LORD and against His [a] (E) Anointed, saying, 3 "Let us (F) tear their fetters apart and cast away their cords from us!"

4 He who [b] sits in the heavens (G) laughs, the LORD (H) scoffs at them.

5 Then He will speak to them in His (I) anger and (J) terrify them in His fury, saying, 6 "But as for Me, I have installed (K) My King upon Zion, (L) My holy mountain."

7 "I will surely tell of the decree of the LORD: He said to Me, 'You are (M) My Son, today I have begotten You.

8 'Ask of Me, and (N) I will surely give (O) the nations as Your inheritance, and the very (P) ends of Earth as Your possession.

9 'You shall [c](Q) break them with a rod of iron, You shall (R) shatter them like earthenware.'"

10 Now therefore, O kings, (S) show discernment; take warning, O [d] judges of Earth.

11 Worship the LORD with (T) reverence and rejoice with (U) trembling.

12 Do homage to (V) the Son, that He not become angry, and you perish in the way, for (W) His wrath may [e] soon be kindled - how blessed are all who (X) take refuge in Him!

-Psalm 2
