Psalm 2 presents God’s eternal King, Jesus Christ, whose reign cannot be thwarted by the empty threats or violent rebellion of nations. The psalm contrasts the arrogance of earthly rulers, who rage against God, with the sovereignty of the Lord, who laughs at their futility and establishes His chosen King on Zion. While originally sung at Israel’s coronations, its prophetic significance points to the greater Son of David, the resurrected Christ, whose kingdom will last forever. God invites all people to abandon pride and rebellion, to serve the Lord with fear, and to “kiss the Son”—a symbol of reverence, loyalty, and humble devotion. The psalm ends with both warning and promise: those who resist God’s King face judgment, but those who take refuge in Him are eternally blessed. This coronation psalm calls us to daily surrender and wholehearted allegiance to Jesus, our Savior King.
