This Chapter Verse Commentaries:
God’s Son upon His Throne
Psa 2:1-12
This is one of the sublimest of the Psalms, and can find its fulfillment only in our Lord. See Act 4:25; Act 13:33; Heb 1:5; Heb 5:5; Rev 2:27. The mold in which the psalm is cast is highly dramatic.
The determined hate of the peoples, Psa 2:1-3
Rage conveys the idea of gesticulations and cries of frenzy. For Psa 2:2, see Luk 23:12-13; Act 4:25-26.
The divine tranquillity, Psa 2:4-6
The scene shifts to heaven. In spite of all, the eternal purpose moves on. I have set-that is, “anointed.” “Messiah” and “Christ” alike mean anointed, Act 10:38.
The manifesto of Messiah, Psa 2:7-9
Before time began He was the only begotten Son of God, Joh 17:5. But His sonship was declared at His resurrection, Act 13:30-37. The world is His, to be won by the Cross and intercession.
Overtures of peace, Psa 2:12
Kiss, 1Sa 10:1. This psalm closes as the first began, “Oh, the blessedness!”
