The nations rage and the peoples device a vain thing against the Lord and his anointed. But the Psalmist assures his readers that the Lord is in control–he laughs at the nations. He is judge. He has set his anointed on the throne–who will rule and judge–and all are warned to serve him and be blessed or reject him and perish.
