     [ Illustration: The paintings above illustrate two key aspects of today's chapter. The First Painting depicts a coronation which blends political and religious aspects, as in first part of the Psalm. The Second Painting depicts a victor who advises those who would war against him in the future to think otherwise, as in the latter part of the Psalm. ]



SPECIAL NOTE:

[ I will again be working through the Scriptures from Genesis to Revelation. I will be adding links, resources, images, and the like, upgrading the former work-through which began with the 2013-10-12 posting which can be found, along with the full Genesis to Revelation postings, in the Archive Page. Postings will be at midnight Eastern Time, as I am able. However, no chapters will be skipped, even though a posting may be late. And all postings will be housed in the Archive Page. ]



     Explanation: Psalm 2 is the first of several Messianic Psalms, as shown by Hebrews 1:1-5, and Hebrews 5:1-5. These passages depict Christ as King and as the Son of God.
     In the first stanza of Psalm 2 David (Acts 4:25) says that it is vain for the heathen to rage and to set themselves against the LORD and his anointed (the Messiah), thinking they can break free from His dominion (1-3).
     David says that God laughs at such nonsense. God will bring his wrath and his great displeasure upon them (4-6).
     The Son himself speaks in the third stanza, saying that the LORD (Jehovah) said to him that He was His Son, that He had the LORD's permission to ask for and to receive the heathen, and indeed the whole earth, for his inheritance. He will break them (those who resist) with a rod of iron like a potter's vessel (7-9).
     In the fourth stanza David resumes speaking and advises the kings of the earth to be wise and to serve the LORD with fear and trembling and to kiss the Son lest he be angry with them and they perish quickly. Conversely, says David, "Blessed are all they that put their trust in him" (10-12).

RESOURCES

PLEASE NOTE: Use the resources on this and other sites thoughtfully, particularly the commentaries and encyclopedias. I have attempted to list conservative, scholarly resources. However, some providers use liberal or liberal-influenced commentaries such as the Cambridge Bible for Schools and Colleges (in Bible Hub). Such commentaries are undoubtedly included by the provider for the wealth of useful information and comments which they provide. By consulting several commentaries, it should be fairly easy to sort out the wheat from the chaff. If, however, you would like personal assistance, write to me at AD LIB ARTS EMAIL.

Psalm Detailed Outline

THE PSALTER:

(SONGS FOR COVENANT WORSHIP)
Deliverance from Sinners and from Sin

Nearly all the Psalms (except Psalm 90) were written during the 612 year period
from the time of David around 1016 B. C. to the close of the Canon in about 404 B. C.
Psalm 90, according to its superscription, was written by Moses; this may have been around 1406 B. C.

God is Against the Wicked


Psalm 2
It is futile for nations to resist the LORD.


Map 1: Bible Nations | Map 2: Empire of David and Solomon Map 3: Kingdoms of Judah and Israel | Post Exile Chronology.


1 Why do the heathen rage,
and the people imagine a vain thing?
2 The kings of the earth set themselves,
and the rulers take counsel together,
against the LORD,
and against his anointed, saying,
3 Let us break their bands asunder,
and cast away their cords from us.


4 He that sitteth in the heavens shall laugh:
the Lord shall have them in derision.
5 Then shall he speak unto them in his wrath,
and vex them in his sore displeasure.
6 Yet have I set my king upon my holy hill of Zion.


7 I will declare the decree:
the LORD hath said unto me,
Thou art my Son;
this day have I begotten thee.
8 Ask of me,
and I shall give thee the heathen for thine inheritance,
and the uttermost parts of the earth
for thy possession.
9 Thou shalt break them with a rod of iron;
thou shalt dash them in pieces
like a potter's vessel.


10 Be wise now therefore, O ye kings:
be instructed,
ye judges of the earth.
11 Serve the LORD with fear,
and rejoice with trembling.
12 Kiss the Son,
lest he be angry,
and ye perish from the way,
when his wrath is kindled
but a little.
Blessed are all they
that put their trust in him.
