Psalm 2 –><\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

Together with Psalm 2, Psalm 1 serves as an introduction to the Book of Psalms. There is a blessing to come for the man who walks in God’s ways (v1-3, 6a) and a judgement to come for those who do not (v4-5, 6b). Jesus Christ alone fits the description of the ‘Blessed Man’ and he is able to sing this song with complete integrity. When we sing this Psalm as Christians, we affirm that blessing comes from Jesus’ perfect obedience and we commit ourselves to following the ways of Christ as those who belong to him. God’s Spirit is changing us so that we more and more desire to submit to his Word and turn our feet from paths of evil.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n
