Psalm 2

Why do the nations conspire and the people plot in vain?  The rulers bind together and rise up against the Lord and his anointed One, saying "Let us break their chains and throw off their shackles".

I know that isn't memorized perfectly, but it's what I've got for this Psalm.  The overall message of the Psalm is that going up against the Lord, even for the most powerful of earthly leaders is futile.  He is in control.  We are not.  He laughs at arrogance.  
Also, we see Christ in this Psalm.  The anointed of the Lord whom every leader would be wise to "kiss", that is to recognize His Lordship.  

The Lord will look out for those who submit to Him.  Peeking at the last line of verse 12, "Blessed are all who take refuge in him".
