Psalm 2:5
“Then shall he speak unto them in his wrath, and vex them in his sore displeasure.”
KJV
Read in Psalm 2Meaning
Verse 5 is not an isolated outburst. It stands between the exposure of futility in verse 4 and the installation declaration in verse 6, showing that divine sovereignty includes accountable judgment.
Psalm 2:4–6
Contrasts earthly defiance with the LORD’s sovereign response and declaration of his king on Zion.
Read carefully
The wrath is the measured judicial response of the sovereign LORD to organized rebellion.
Reflection
Take moral accountability seriously before resistance hardens, rather than treating divine patience as indifference.
