Why do the nations rage,
And the people plot a vain thing?
Psa 2:2
The kings of the earth set themselves,
And the rulers take counsel together,
Against the LORD and against His Anointed, saying,
Psa 2:3
“Let us break Their bonds in pieces
And cast away Their cords from us.”
Psa 2:4
He who sits in the heavens shall laugh;
The Lord shall hold them in derision.
Psa 2:5
Then He shall speak to them in His wrath,
And distress them in His deep displeasure:
Psa 2:6
“Yet I have set My King
On My holy hill of Zion.”
Psa 2:7
“I will declare the decree:
The LORD has said to Me,
‘You are My Son,
Today I have begotten You.
Psa 2:8
Ask of Me, and I will give You
The nations for Your inheritance,
And the ends of the earth for Your possession.
Psa 2:9
You shall breakfn them with a rod of iron;
You shall dash them to pieces like a potter’s vessel.’ ”
Psa 2:10
Now therefore, be wise, O kings;
Be instructed, you judges of the earth.
Psa 2:11
Serve the LORD with fear,
And rejoice with trembling.
Psa 2:12
Kiss the Son,fn lest Hefn be angry,
And you perish in the way,
When His wrath is kindled but a little.
Blessed are all those who put their trust in Him.

My Thoughts
It was funny, I read this Psalm to my kids. We had the greatest time with verse 4 when the Lord says that "He will laugh" at the strategies of the wicked men.
We pictured what it would be like if my son stood by a frustrated ant. If that ant hurled insults at him, he'd just laugh at the notion that the ant could do anything against him.
So to with God. No matter how man might try to come against God, it's really no competition. It rather is laughable. God laughs, I laughed, we all did today.
However, the verse that resonated with me was verse 12
