What does the Bible say about the rule of God over nations?

In Psalm 2, we see a vivid depiction of God's sovereignty and the futility of opposing His rule. The heathen may rage and the kings of the earth may set themselves against the Lord and His Anointed, yet we read that God 'sits in the heavens and laughs.' This illustrates not only God's eternal authority but also highlights the absurdity of human rebellion against divine decree. God has established His King upon His holy hill, asserting that ultimately, His purpose will prevail regardless of human opposition (Psalm 2:4-6).
