Journey Through the Book of Psalm–Psalm 2

Blessings all and welcome to the 2nd installment of Journeying through the Book of Psalm with Dr. Inspire.  If you missed the 1st installment, you can read it here.  I love the book of Psalms because it is a book of praise and worship unto our Heavenly Father.  It is a book that causes us to take note of how great God is in our lives and that there is victory in our praise.  As I say, a praise a day keeps the enemy away!

Why are the nations so angry?

    Why do they waste their time with futile plans?
² The kings of the earth prepare for battle;
    the rulers plot together
against the Lord
    and against his anointed one.
³ “Let us break their chains,” they cry,
    “and free ourselves from slavery to God.”

⁴ But the one who rules in heaven laughs.
    The Lord scoffs at them.
⁵ Then in anger he rebukes them,
    terrifying them with his fierce fury.
⁶ For the Lord declares, “I have placed my chosen king on the throne
    in Jerusalem,^[a] on my holy mountain.”

⁷ The king proclaims the Lord’s decree:
“The Lord said to me, ‘You are my son.^[b]
    Today I have become your Father.^[c]
8 Only ask, and I will give you the nations as your inheritance,
    the whole earth as your possession.
⁹ You will break^[d] them with an iron rod
    and smash them like clay pots.’”

¹⁰ Now then, you kings, act wisely!
    Be warned, you rulers of the earth!
¹¹ Serve the Lord with reverent fear,
    and rejoice with trembling.
¹² Submit to God’s royal son,^[e] or he will become angry,
    and you will be destroyed in the midst of all your activities—
for his anger flares up in an instant.
    But what joy for all who take refuge in him!

Psalm 2 so eloquently reminds us that God fights for His people.  Those that are on God’s side can expect an eternal inheritance and reward from God.  On the other hand, those who refuse to submit to God’s authority will experience His wrath.  Thank God that we can find refuge in Him!
