The kings of the earth stood up, and the rulers were gathered together against the Lord, and against his Christ, х mªshiychow (H4899)] - 'His Anointed One,' or 'His Messiah.' David in spirit sees with astonishment "the pagan," 'the peoples,' "the kings of the earth," and "the rulers," in deadly combination against the sway of Yahweh and His Anointed One, and asks "why" this is. This godless, Christless confederacy our praying disciples behold, at that moment, in full and fierce operation.
