BLESSED ARE ALL THEY THAT PUT THEIR TRUST IN HIM … (Psalm 2)

A Psalm in 4 stanzas regarding the final victory of Jesus the King of Kings over His enemies.

Stanza I
1 Why do the heathen rage, and the people devise a vain thing?
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 break Their bonds asunder, and cast away Their cords from us."
The heathen, the godless, rage. They would be more violent except for a restraining of The Spirit of God, the laws of the land, and the mask of civility. Just watch the “heathen” when “evolution” or “abortion” are even threatened. They rage because they willfully reject God and His truth, His Son and the Message. I see the stoning of Steven and “the heathen” closing their ears and raging. In a way, there is something ridiculous about the picture: mere enraged humans plotting to go against Almighty God and against His Anointed.

Stanza II
4 He that sitteth in the heavens shall laugh; the LORD shall hold them in derision.
5 Then shall He speak unto them in His wrath, and vex them in His sore displeasure:
6 "Yet have I set My King upon My holy hill of Zion."
In fact God sitting on His throne in all His majesty, laughs at them. He could snap His little finger and sling them to the other end of the universe, or slam-dunk them into the black hole in the Belt of Orion. Yet, He simply speaks and waits for the fullness of time, and goes about His business of The Kingdom of His dear Son. He is coming to Zion. Amen. Come Lord Jesus!

Stanza III
7 "I will declare the decree: The LORD hath said unto Me, `Thou art My Son; this day have I begotten Thee.
8 Ask of Me, and I shall give Thee the heathen for Thine inheritance, and the uttermost parts of the earth for Thy possession.
9 Thou shalt break them with a rod of iron; Thou shalt dash them to pieces like a potter's vessel.'"
Here is the Son declaring the decree of the Most High. “You are my Son, and I have given you Jews and Gentiles for a people to be and to share your inheritance and the whole earth for your possession. I have given you the power to break up your enemies into bits and dust.

Stanza IV
10 Be wise now therefore, O ye kings; be instructed, ye judges of the earth.
11 Serve the LORD with fear and rejoice with trembling.
12 Kiss the Son, lest He be angry and ye perish from the way, when His wrath is kindled but a little. Blessed are all they that put their trust in Him.
The Son graciously addresses the kings of the earth: “Be wise, be instructed, see the evidence. Hear my Word. Be in awe and serve Jehovah with fear and joy and trembling. Make peace with the Son now lest you end up as dust. His grace offers a blessing if…. “Blessed are all they that put their trust in Him,”
