Psalms 2: 2-4 (KJ21)
The kings of the earth set themselves, and the rulers take counsel together, against the LORD and against His Anointed, saying,
"Let us break Their bonds asunder, and cast away Their cords from us."
.He that sitteth in the heavens shall laugh; the LORD shall hold them in derision

Psalms 2: 2-4 (NAS)
The kings of the earth take their stand, And the rulers take counsel together Against the LORD and against His Anointed:
"Let us tear their fetters apart, And cast away their cords from us!"
.He who sits in the heavens laughs, The Lord scoffs at them.

Psalms 2: 2-4 (NIVUS)
The kings of the earth take their stand and the rulers gather together against the LORD and against his Anointed One
"Let us break their chains," they say, "and throw off their fetters."
The One enthroned in heaven laughs; the Lord scoffs at them.

Psalms 2: 2-4 (NLT)
The kings of the earth prepare for battle; the rulers plot together against the LORD and against his anointed one
"Let us break their chains," they cry, "and free ourselves from this slavery."
. But the one who rules in heaven laughs. The Lord scoffs at them.

There are kings and queens who have been set up in this earth to rule and reign over other men. Through their lineage and line, they are established on the throne, but that does not necessarily mean they are the best choice to lead. They set themselves to command and to judge. They, however, may only be throwing their weight around.

Many times they form alliances with others of their rank. They sit together in conclave to join and unite against the Lord Jehovah, who out ranks them in all things, for He is the King of kings and Lord of lords. He is the Almighty God's anointed Messiah.

These earthly kings often do not recognize His authority and seek ways to break away from His discipline, chastisement, and instruction. They cut the cords and bands of the Lord and cast them away, for they desire to separate themselves from Him and rule their own lives.

However Yahweh, the Lord God, is not threatened by their rebellion. He sits in the Heaven, where He dwells, and simply laughs at and mocks their puny efforts. The Master of the universe ridicules and derides these who are full of themselves, for He knows that they can never overthrow His throne.

Therefore, align yourself with the Lord Jehovah. When you do, your life will be firmly established and fixed. No kings of the earth will ever over throw and defeat you.
