Psalm 2
I.
Introduction
If Psalter
is the Prayer Book of the Church, then Psalms 1 and 2 are Portals of Prayer –
gates into prayer life of the faithful ones.
Similar
features of the psalms:
Both portrait a blessed/godly person
Both psalms talk about “resistance” to righteousness
Both psalms
have a very vivid picture/illustration of godly life.
The difference
between the psalms:
The tension between good and evil is more tense (pun
intended).
Therefore, the pushback from God is even stronger.
Godly person
in Psalm 1 is not identified, while Psalm 2 calls Him a Son – very close,
familial connection.
