Why do the heathen rage, and the people imagine a vain thing?
 

2:1 heathen rage. “Heathen” is the same as “nations,” and “rage” connotes “assemble tumultuously.” The picture is one of a great convocation of leaders from many nations, gathered together to plan a united rebellion against God.

2:1 vain thing. Compare Romans 1:21, “became vain in their imaginations.”
