Psalm Shorts: Psalm 2

"Blessed" are those who take refuge in him. Psalms 1 and 2 are bookended by this powerful word, and that's not an accident.
Psalm 2 opens in chaos. Nations raging, rulers plotting, everyone trying to shake loose from God's authority. Sound familiar? But chaos doesn't get the last word. What follows is a four-scene drama — earth rebelling, heaven responding, a king speaking, and then an invitation. Folded into this drama are some loaded words: anointed (Mashiach, the word that becomes Messiah), son (royal coronation language), fear (which looks more like reverence rather than terror), and trembling (what happens when your body can't contain the energy coursing through it).
This psalm is classified as a royal psalm. But by the time you trace it through David's covenant, the baptism of Jesus, and all the way to Revelation, we have to wonder if it was always meant to be both royal and messianic.
If you've ever found yourself unsettled by the word fear in scripture, or wondered how much David knew about what he was actually writing — this one's for you.
Enjoy this deep dive into Psalm 2!
