Why are the nations in an uproar [in turmoil against God],
And why do the people devise a vain and hopeless plot?

Though they have {plotted} evil against you, [though] they have planned a scheme, they will not prevail.

In whose hands is a wicked scheme,
And whose right hand is full of bribes.

They concoct an evil scheme for themselves; they enumerate their hidden snares; they say, "Who will see them?"

His resolve is firm; he will not succumb to fear before he looks in triumph on his enemies.
