**king**
The second Psalm gives the order of the establishment of the kingdom. It is in six parts:
(1) The rage of the Gentiles, the vain imagination of "people" (Jews), and the antagonism of rulers against Jehovah's anointed [Psalms 2:1-3](../../../kjv/psalms/2/1-3). The inspired interpretation of this is in [Acts 4:25-28](../../../kjv/acts/4/25-28) which asserts its fulfilment in the crucifixion of Christ.
(2) The derision of Jehovah [Psalms 2:4](../../../kjv/psalms/2/4) that men should suppose it possible to set aside His covenant [2 Samuel 7:8-17](../../../kjv/2-samuel/7/8-17) and oath [Psalms 89:34-37](../../../kjv/psalms/89/34-37).
(3) The vexation [Psalms 2:5](../../../kjv/psalms/2/5) fulfilled, first in the destruction of Jerusalem, A.D. 70; and in the final dispersion of the Jews at that time; and to be fulfilled more completely in the tribulation [Matthew 24:29](../../../kjv/matthew/24/29) which immediately precedes the return of the King. [Matthew 24:30](../../../kjv/matthew/24/30).
(4) The establishment of the rejected King upon Zion [Psalms 2:6](../../../kjv/psalms/2/6).
(5) The subjection of the earth to the King's rule [Psalms 2:7-9](../../../kjv/psalms/2/7-9) and
(6) the present appeal to the world powers. [Psalms 2:10-12](../../../kjv/psalms/2/10-12). See Psalm 8., next in order of the Messianic Psalms. (Note. [Psalms 2:8](../../../kjv/psalms/2/8). 16. 22. 23. 24. 40. 41. 45. 68. 69. 72. 89. 102. 110. and 118. are considered as Messianic. It is not questioned that many other Psalms also refer to Christ.

**fear**
*(See Scofield "**")*

**trust**
Trust is the characteristic O.T. word for the N.T. "faith," "believe." It occurs 152 times in the O.T., and is the rendering of Heb. words signifying to take refuge (e.g. [Ruth 2:12](../../../kjv/ruth/2/12) "to lean on" (e.g.) [Psalms 56:3](../../../kjv/psalms/56/3) "to roll on" (e.g.) [Psalms 22:8](../../../kjv/psalms/22/8) "to stay upon" (e.g.) [Job 35:14](../../../kjv/job/35/14).
