Psalm 2
2 Why do the nations rage
and the peoples plot in vain?
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 burst their bonds apart
and cast away their cords from us.”
4 He who sits in the heavens laughs;
the Lord holds them in derision.
5 Then he will speak to them in his wrath,
and terrify them in his fury, saying,
6 “As for me, I have set my King
on Zion, my holy hill.”
7 I will tell of the decree:
The Lord said to me, “You are my Son;
today I have begotten you.
8 Ask of me, and I will make the nations your heritage,
and the ends of the earth your possession.
9 You shall break them with a rod of iron
and dash them in pieces like a potter's vessel.”
10 Now therefore, O kings, be wise;
be warned, O rulers of the earth.
11 Serve the Lord with fear,
and rejoice with trembling.
12 Kiss the Son,
lest he be angry, and you perish in the way,
for his wrath is quickly kindled.
Blessed are all who take refuge in him.
Watch the Sermon
Summary: In light of this past week’s election, we will now study Psalm 2 together. In this passage we see clear earthly opposition towards God and lordship. We will see how the nations rage against Him and plot things in vain. Yet we also see that those who take refuge in Him will find comfort in His sovereign power and rule. This passage shows us that Jesus is the anointed King who has dominion over all things and is sovereign over all nations for all of time. Please prayerfully consider the questions below.
