Psalm 2:1-6
EasyEnglish Bible

The Lord's king rules[a]

2 Why are nations making plans to turn against the Lord?
    All their plans will fail!
2 Kings and rulers decide to work together,
    to fight against the Lord
    and the king that he has chosen.
3 They say, ‘We will not accept their authority over us!
    We will get free from their power!’[b]
4 The Lord who sits on his throne in heaven laughs at them.
    He says that their plans are useless.
5 Then he becomes very angry and he frightens them.
    He warns them with strong words and he says,
6     ‘I have put my king on his throne in Zion.[c]
    I have put him on my holy mountain.’

  1. 2:1 This Psalm speaks about the king of Israel that God had chosen. The word used for this king in verse 2 is the same word as Messiah. The Psalm also tells us about Jesus. The prophets said that Jesus would be king of all the nations.
  2. 2:3 See Acts 4:25-26.
  3. 2:6 God put David in Zion as king. Zion was part of Jerusalem. When David died, his son Solomon became king. Their descendants also ruled as kings after that. Jesus was a descendant of King David. He became the king who rules for ever.
