** "I Have Installed My King" **

 

Why have the nations become tumultuous,
and why have the peoples meditated vanity?
The kings of the earth set themselves
and the rulers took counsel together
against Jehovah and against His Anointed.
I have anointed My king upon Zion,
the mountain of My holiness.
I will declare the statute,
Jehovah said unto me,
Thou art My Son,
this day have I begotten Thee;
ask of Me
and I will give the nations for Thine inheritance,
and the uttermost parts of the earth
for Thy possession.
Kiss the Son,
lest He be angry and ye perish in the way,
for His anger will shortly burn forth;
blessed are all they that put their trust in Him.

(Psalm 2:1, 2, 6-8, 12)

AE 684 [10]

Evidently "the Anointed of Jehovah" means here
the Lord in relation to the Divine Human,
for it is said,

"Jehovah said unto Me, Thou art My Son,
this day have I begotten Thee;
kiss the Son lest ye perish;
blessed are all they that put their trust in Him."
In the sense of the letter this indeed is said of David,
but in the Word "David" means the Lord
in relation to Divine truth, or as a King.
It is evident also that the Lord's coming
and finally the Last Judgment by Him,
and afterwards His sovereignty
over all things of the world,
are here treated of.
