Psalm 2

Psalm 2 is a powerful and prophetic Psalm that speaks of the authority and kingship of God. Here are some discussion questions organized by sections of the Psalm to help people relate it to their own cultural setting:

Verses 1-3:

  1. In these verses, the nations are described as rising up against the Lord and His anointed. How do these actions of rebellion resonate with events or attitudes in your own cultural context?

Verses 4-6:

  1. The psalmist expresses the laughter and scoffing of God towards the nations. How does this understanding of God's response to human rebellion connect with your cultural beliefs about justice and divine intervention?

Verses 7-9:

  1. The psalmist quotes God's decree, "You are my son; today I have become your father." How does this declaration of sonship relate to your cultural understanding of familial relationships and inheritance?

  2. The verses mention the nations and the ends of the earth as an inheritance for the Son. How does this idea of inheritance resonate with your cultural values and perceptions of power and authority?

Verses 10-12:

  1. The psalm ends with a warning to the kings and rulers of the earth to submit to the Lord with fear and rejoice with trembling. How do these calls to submission and reverence relate to your cultural beliefs about leadership and governance?

  2. Reflecting on your cultural context, what does it mean to "kiss the Son" in verse 12? How can we demonstrate our allegiance and reverence to God in our own cultural setting?

Overall Questions:
