Meditations from the Second Psalm

This semester I have been taking a class on Revelation; Psalm 2 applies immediately to the time period dealt with in that book. Read in the context of the last days...

Meditations on the Second Psalm
 4/17/09

Why do the nations rage,
and the peoples plot in vain?
The rulers of men take counsel together
to remove the Lord's restraint.

Behold!
The Lord's Anointed cometh!

The Lord in heaven laughs;
and God derides their plans.
The words of the Lord strike dreadful terror,
"The King sits as appointed."

Behold!
The Lord's Messiah cometh!

The Lord's decree unveiled:
A Son He has begotten,
Who owns the world and rules the nations
judging, breaking at will.

Behold!
The Lord's Christ Jesus cometh!

And now, beware! Serve God,
with joyfulness and trembling.
Reverence the Son and quell His wrath
Blessed are those He loves!

Behold!
The Lord's Anointed cometh!
