Psalm 2
1 Why do the nations rage,
And the people plot a vain thing?
2 The kings of the earth set themselves,
And the rulers take counsel together,
Against the Lord and against His Anointed, saying,
3 “Let us break Their bonds in pieces
And cast away Their cords from us.”
4 He who sits in the heavens shall laugh;
The Lord shall hold them in derision.
5 Then He shall speak to them in His wrath,
And distress them in His deep displeasure:
6 “Yet I have set My King
On My holy hill of Zion.”
7 “I will declare the decree:
The Lord has said to Me,
‘You are My Son,
Today I have begotten You.
8 Ask of Me, and I will give You
The nations for Your inheritance,
And the ends of the earth for Your possession.
9 You shall break[a] them with a rod of iron;
You shall dash them to pieces like a potter’s vessel.’”
10 Now therefore, be wise, O kings;
Be instructed, you judges of the earth.
11 Serve the Lord with fear,
And rejoice with trembling.
12 Kiss the Son,[b] lest [c] He be angry,
And you perish in the way,
When His wrath is kindled but a little.
Blessed are all those who put their trust in Him.
Nice post. Hope will dawn soon for this nation. This happens 2 times in Man’s life;even by reason of strength 3 times.
Our enemies mocked America back in 1980,and just a few years later they all wanted glasnost/perestroika with America.
God has promises to keep with the good guys and bad guys.
We are definitely nearing the end of the Church Age, IMHO.
Thank you for that. The Psalms and Proverbs are books which teach us about the world and about how we should live. America today and most of mankind’s condition is covered there. The search for wisdom should definitely include those books.
