Psalm 2 is understood to function along with Psalm 1 as an introduction to the Psalter. The blessedness that begins Psalm 1 is picked up again at the end of Psalm 2, which helps you to see the two chapters functioning together. In fact, some Hebrew copies of the Psalms actually just combine Psalm 1 and 2 as one psalm. So Psalm 2 in one sense completes Psalm 1 and it does so by pointing our eyes towards Christ. This Psalm is one of the New Testament authors’ favorite passages because of how much it points to Christ.
