Q

Psalm 2 is a Messianic psalm and gives the promise of the Davidic covenant (2 Sam 7, “Your throne shall be established forever.” vs 16) that whomever takes refuge in the Messiah will be what?

A

They’ll be “Blessed” - same word used as the opening of Psalm 1. “Blessed are all who take refuge in him” (Psalms 2:12). So it shows that those who pray with this book will be blessed as they meditate on the teachings of God and as they seek to take refuge in their future king.
