Listen from:
In this Psalm, we see terrible hatred and opposition foretold for the Lord Jesus. The world does not want anyone who lives for the glory of God. They hate the light, for they want to live in their sins.
V.2 Many unite to show their hatred, exactly like today.
V.7-9 Though written 1,000 years before the Lord Jesus came to earth, notice how similar the words are to Matthew 3:17,17And lo a voice from heaven, saying, This is my beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased. (Matthew 3:17) Acts 13:3333God hath fulfilled the same unto us their children, in that he hath raised up Jesus again; as it is also written in the second psalm, Thou art my Son, this day have I begotten thee. (Acts 13:33) and Hebrews 1:55For unto which of the angels said he at any time, Thou art my Son, this day have I begotten thee? And again, I will be to him a Father, and he shall be to me a Son? (Hebrews 1:5). God sees the hatred of the heart of man, and He tells us that His Son, the Lord Jesus, in a yet future day is going to be honored, and those who despise Him will be punished. The Lord is going to reign over this world, and His enemies are going to be “dashed in pieces.” Holy and fierce judgment is going to fall on those who have rejected Christ.
V.12 If they do not repent, they will “perish.” But blessed are all they that put their trust in Him.
