Psalms 2:0 God’s rulerThere is no title to this psalm, though Acts 4:25 indicates that the writer was David. The psalm was probably written to celebrate some great national occasion such as the coronation of a king. It was a reminder to the king, the people and the enemy nations that the Israelite king was, in a sense, God’s son, the one through whom God exercised his rule (2 Samuel 7:11-16; cf. Exodus 4:22). Through him God would overpower all opposition and establish his rule on the earth.In... read more

PSALM 2THE REIGN OF JEHOVAH'S ANOINTEDPsalms 2:1"Why do the nations rage, And the peoples meditate a vain thing?"The picture that surfaces here is one of rebellion and hatred against God's anointed, who can be none other than the Messiah, the Lord Jesus Christ.The Cross-Reference Bible gives an alternative reading on the first line as, "Why do the nations tumultuously assemble?" and some of the versions render the 2nd line, as "And the peoples imagine a vain thing?"This is dramatically opposite... read more

Thomas Coke Commentary on the Holy Bible - Psalms 2:1

Psalms 2:0. The kingdom of Christ: kings are exhorted to accept it. THE Jewish rabbis expound this Psalm (as Raschi informs us in his comment on the first verse) of king Messiah; though he himself explains it in the literal sense, as relative to David. The Chaldee paraphrase seems also to apply the Psalm to the Messiah. That, in the primary sense, David speaks of himself, I think there can be no reason to doubt; and Bishop Patrick acknowledges, that, under the history of David, it contains an... read more

Commentary Critical and Explanatory on the Whole Bible - Psalms 2:1

1. Why do the heathen, &c.—Beholding, in prophetic vision, the peoples and nations, as if in a tumultuous assembly, raging with a fury like the raging of the sea, designing to resist God's government, the writer breaks forth into an exclamation in which are mingled surprise at their folly, and indignation at their rebellion. heathen—nations generally, not as opposed to Jews. the people—or, literally, "peoples," or races of men. read more

Thomas Constable

Expository Notes of Dr. Thomas Constable - Psalms 2:1

David set forth his amazement in the form of a rhetorical question. He could not believe that the nations would try to do something that was sure to fail. It was senseless to reject God’s rule and ruler (cf. Acts 4:25-28; Romans 1:20-32). The people in the first part of Psalms 1 delight in the law, but the people in the first part of Psalms 2 defy the law. read more

Expository Notes of Dr. Thomas Constable - Psalms 2:1-3

1. The nations’ rebellion 2:1-3David expressed amazement that the nations would try to overthrow the Lord and the king He had placed on Israel’s throne to serve as His vice-regent. If Israel’s kings submitted to the throne in heaven, they enjoyed God’s blessing and power. To the extent that they proved faithful to God, they carried out the will and plan of God on earth. read more

Expository Notes of Dr. Thomas Constable - Psalms 2:1-12

Psalms 2In this "second psalm" (Acts 13:33), one of the most frequently quoted in the New Testament, David (Acts 4:25) exhorted the pagan nations surrounding Israel to forsake their efforts to oppose the Lord and His anointed king. He urged them to submit to the authority of the Son whom God has ordained to rule them (cf. 2 Samuel 10). The first and second psalms were always united as one in the rabbinical traditions. [Note: See Peter C. Craigie, Psalms 1-50, p. 59.] This is a royal psalm and,... read more

John Dummelow's Commentary on the Bible - Psalms 2:1-12

The historical situation of this Ps. cannot now be recovered. It may refer to some threatened rebellion of subject kings in the early days of Solomon, or to some similar movement under one of the later kings; but it is impossible to give it any precise date. This, however, is of the less importance, as the leading feature of the Ps. is its application to the Messianic King—the ideal ruler of Israel. Some writers deny that it had any historical setting, and hold that it refers exclusively to the... read more
