Psalm 2

In psalm 2:6 God presents in verse the same thought that Paul dictated through prose in Romans 13:1; that God has established every earthly authority. They are intended to serve him. So believers honor God by serving rulers. Knowing that the question that introduces psalm 2 takes on a new meaning. The kings who are rebelling against the ruler of Israel are frustrating the plans of the one who had earlier enthroned them. They are biting the hand that feeds them. I wonder if David wrote and sang this psalm as he laid siege to one of the rebel cities? I wonder if the tune was carried on the breeze into the rebel king's bedroom? It is a song of love and God's grace that we need to sing to our rulers.
