My personal understanding for Psalm 2

The nations, kings of the earth and rulers mentioned in verses 1 to 3 basically refers to the kingdom of the darkness on this planet. Ever since the fall of man, Satan has total control and influence over mankind and can therefore manipulate and exert influence over the thoughts and behavior of human kings and rulers (Eph 6:12 says very clearly that our war is a spiritual one against the forces of darkness). We usually don't look at Psalms from a spiritual point of view, but Ps 2 predicts how Satan will gather his allies for a final showdown with God and Jesus as mentioned in Daniel & Revelation. Ps 2 basically sums up it all, stating simply how the enemies of God will fail their ploy and how the entire kingdom of God will be eventually handed over to Jesus. The Anointed One mentioned here is none other than the Lord Jesus himself, since during His baptism God declared from heaven that he is His Son. Blessed are all who take refuge in Him is written to assure us who trusted in Jesus that we will be safe with Him.

Hope this will give u a better understanding & appreciation of Ps 2 :) Different Psalms take on different format and u need to ask God to enrich your spirit with what is written.
