Verses 1-12
God’s Son upon His Throne
Psalms 2:1-12

The determined hate of the peoples, Psalms 2:1-3
Rage conveys the idea of gesticulations and cries of frenzy. For Psalms 2:2 , see Luke 23:12-13 ; Acts 4:25-26 .
The divine tranquillity, Psalms 2:4-6

The manifesto of Messiah, Psalms 2:7-9
Before time began He was the only begotten Son of God, John 17:5 . But His sonship was declared at His resurrection, Acts 13:30-37 . The world is His, to be won by the Cross and intercession.
Overtures of peace, Psalms 2:12
Kiss, 1 Samuel 10:1 . This psalm closes as the first began, “Oh, the blessedness!”
