Commentary on Psalms 2:10

Theological / Devotional

Be wise now. Two ways lie before the rebels: either to continue rebellion, which will produce destruction, or to submit to the divine will, which will mean eternal happiness. The psalmist, as a brother pleading with his fellows, solemnly exhorts the leaders of the rebellion to submit. It is foolish to rebel.

Be instructed. Literally, “be admonished,” “be disciplined.” The leaders are advised to recognize their duty to Jehovah and His Messiah, and to lend their influence to promoting it.
