Community of Believers: God, our King, You made the heaven and the earth and the sea and everything they contain.[a] 25 You are the One who, by the Holy Spirit, spoke through our ancestor David, Your servant, with these words:

    Why did the nations rage?
        Why did they imagine useless things?
26     The kings of the earth took their stand;
        their rulers assembled in opposition
        against the Eternal One and His Anointed King.[b]
