‏ Psalms 2:10

Warning to the Enemies of Messiah

This section gives advice to the rulers and judges of the world about the kingdom of the Messiah. It teaches that fighting against Christ is useless. Instead, everyone—no matter how powerful—should be wise and accept his rule. God does not want to destroy people; he wants them to find happiness by following his ways . The message is for all people, but it is especially directed at leaders because their actions influence many others (Psalm 2:2 a).

v. 10: The psalmist urges kings and judges to listen and learn. They must accept instruction from God’s word. Before God, everyone is equal, whether they are rulers or ordinary people. Even those who make laws for others must obey Christ’s law. It is wise for them to do so, and it is necessary for everyone.
