Psalm 2 (NIV) 

1 Why do the nations conspire 

and the peoples plot in vain? 

2 The kings of the earth rise up 

and the rulers band together 

against the Lord and against his anointed, saying, 

3 “Let us break their chains 

and throw off their shackles.” 

4 The One enthroned in heaven laughs; 

the Lord scoffs at them. 

5 He rebukes them in his anger 

and terrifies them in his wrath, saying, 

6 “I have installed my king 

on Zion, my holy mountain.” 

7 I will proclaim the Lord’s decree: 

He said to me, “You are my son; 

today I have become your father. 

8 Ask me, 

and I will make the nations your inheritance, 

the ends of the earth your possession. 

9 You will break them with a rod of iron; 

you will dash them to pieces like pottery.” 

10 Therefore, you kings, be wise; 

be warned, you rulers of the earth. 

11 Serve the Lord with fear 

and celebrate his rule with trembling. 

12 Kiss his son, or he will be angry 

and your way will lead to your destruction, 

for his wrath can flare up in a moment. 

Blessed are all who take refuge in him. 

I. Rebellion against God is utter futility.

A. But the wicked still plot and scheme how to avoid God’s authority.

B. The wicked do not want to be in bondage to God and his rule.

II. Because God Reigns.

III. Therefore, put your trust in God. 

Main Idea: Ultimate hope comes from trusting in the one who rules all things and is bringing all of history to its intended conclusion.

A. There are consequences for rebelling against God. 

B. There is blessing for those who trust in him. 

Ultimate hope comes from trusting in the one who will make everything right.
