Psalm 2

This is another Psalm that speaks of the power and authority of our God. What a different view of Him we hold today in many of our churches.

Instead of looking at God like someone who's just in heaven so He can continually bless us, let's look at Him like verse 11 tells us to: "Serve the Lord with reverential awe and rejoice with trembling." Our God is to be feared and revered.

Coronation of the Son

“Why do the nations rebel

and the peoples plot in vain?

The kings of the earth take

their stand,

and the rulers conspire

together against the LORD

and His Anointed One:

“Let us tear off their chains

and free ourselves from their restraints.”

The One enthroned in heaven laughs;

the Lord ridicules them.

Then He speaks to them

in His anger

and terrifies them in His wrath:

“I have consecrated

My King on Zion, My holy mountain.”

I will declare the LORD's decree:

He said to Me, “You are My Son;

today I have become Your Father.

Ask of Me, and I will make the nations

Your inheritance

and the ends of the earth

Your possession.

You will break them with a rod of iron;

You will shatter them like pottery.”

So now, kings, be wise;

receive instruction, you judges of the earth.

Serve the LORD with reverential awe

and rejoice with trembling.

Pay homage to the Son or

He will be angry

and you will perish in your rebellion,

for His anger may ignite

at any moment.

All those who take refuge in Him are happy.”
