Psalm 2. The Lord laughs. Day 3. Jan 3rd | Dreaming Beneath the Spires
Psalm 2
1 Why do the nations conspireb]’>[b];
you will dash them to pieces like pottery.”
10 Therefore, you kings, be wise;
be warned, you rulers of the earth.
11 Serve the LORD with fear
and celebrate his rule with trembling.
12 Kiss his son, or he will be angry
and your way will lead to your destruction,
for his wrath can flare up in a moment.
Blessed are all who take refuge in him.
When that nations conspire, and the people plot, when the kings rise up, and the rulers band together against the Lord, what does the Lord do.
He laughs. He scoffs at them. He holds them in derision.
Therefore, O Christian, be not afraid when people conspire, plot and rise up and band together against you. Make the Lord your refuge, and you will be blessed. Leave it to him to rebuke them in his anger, and terrify them in his wrath.
This is one of the Messianic Psalms, traditionally supposed to refer to Christ, the Messiah.
