An Early American Interpretation of Psalm II

Psalm two speaks of the kings of the earth uniting against God and his people. It can be said that this Psalm could have been interpreted by early Americans as being important. Before the creation of American there were colonies, and these colonies were ruled by people in the old world. For example English colonies were ruled by Britain. These colonies were being treated unfairly by the King. Then Britain declared war on the colonies.The people could have read these first few verses and identified themselves as the people of God. They could have looked to the Lord for support in this situation. The people gave power to the Lord just like in the psalm. I believe the colonist felt that God was going to deliver them from this situation by destroying the other nations just as it said in Psalm 2 verse 9. I believe that it is possible for this psalm to have had almost as much meaning to the people at this time as it did in the past when it was written.
