I. Introduction
Psalm 2 and Psalm 1 serve as an introduction to the Psalter of 150 songs.

II. With ever rising anti-Christian sentiments everywhere, Christians are left
wondering if we will enjoy the happy life Psalm 1 offers. (1-3)

A. God made David and his descendants to be kings to bring blessing to all
nations (Genesis 12:1-3)
B. But David sees the world in a rage of a violent uprising (1-3)
C. This raging attitude continues in our own day. (Acts 4:25-28; Acts 13:33; Rev.
19:19)

III. In spite of world’s raging revolt against heaven, God has the last say as
the ultimate Sovereign. ( 4-6)

A. God brushed aside the world’s futile attempts to stop his eternal purposes with
a laugh. (4)
B. God rebukes the nations and declares he has already installed His king over all
(5-6)

IV. God shall triumph over all nations and rulers through his anointed Son,
the Messiah Jesus Christ (7-9)

A. God’s Messiah speaks for himself and affirms the decree God had made
concerning Him (7a)
B. The decree identifies the Davidic King as the Son of God. (7b)
C. The decree also announces the king’s destiny (8)
D. And finally the decree ascribed to the king the authority and power to rule. (9)
E. The message of Psalm 2 holds out awesome hope for those who trust in God.


V. Our true happiness is found not in futile rebelling against God but to
embrace His kingship through His Son, Jesus Christ (10-12)

A. The wise and the warned are invited to embrace the kingship of Christ.
B. We embraced the kingship of Christ by serving the Lord and kissing the Son
C. Blessed are those who find their refuge in Jesus Christ


VI. Conclusion

A. Living with the tension of the “not yet” in the midst of the perils and threats
of the powers at work in the present world, Christians are tempted to be
afraid and discouraged and to believe that these powers are the only reality in
their lives.
B. Psalm 2 gives us a reason to be faithful and not give up but persevere. When
Jesus said, “All authority in heaven and on earth has been given to me” (Mat
28:18), we are hearing the fulfilment of His request in Psa 2:8: “Ask of me, and I will make the nations your heritage” (Ps. 2:8).
C. The certain coming dominion of the Christ over the entire universe assures
believers of a victorious Christian life.
