Psalm 2
1 Why do the nations conspire[a]
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[b];
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.

"The Psalms"
Perhaps no other portion of Scripture has been read, repeated, chanted, sung, studied, wept over, expounded, loved, and praised by God’s people for thousands of years like the Psalms.
Over the next year we will walk through some of the most beloved, most misunderstood, and most neglected Psalms. We will come to know the God behind the Psalms as well as His Son to whom the Psalms point.
From joyful laughter to brokenhearted lament to awe-inspiring praise, the Psalms give us a language for every season of the soul.
