Psalms 2:2

The Messiah’s Triumph and Kingdom

1 Why ^ado the nations rage,
And the people plot a¹ vain thing?

2 The kings of the earth set themselves,
And the ^arulers take counsel together,
Against the Lord and against His ^bAnointed, saying,

3 “Let ^aus break Their bonds in pieces
And cast away Their cords from us.”

4 He who sits in the heavens ^ashall 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 have¹ set My King
¹On My holy hill of Zion.”

What Does Psalms 2:2 Mean?

Psalm 2:2

The prophecy declares that the One who became God's “Anointed” (the Messiah) and the subject of Hebrews 1—the Personage born as Jesus of Nazareth—is also called in verse 6 “My King” who will be crowned and reign from “My holy hill of Zion.” He is royalty in God's Family and worthy of the highest honor that God the Father can bestow on anyone.

Psalm 2:2

Obviously, these are not demons but human beings who "set themselves and . . . take counsel together, against the Lord." They are conspiring.
