Psalm 2 starts with two questions:
"Why do the nations plan rebellion?"
"Why do people make their useless plots?"
It continues to tell how some rulers and kings plot against the Lord.
"The Lord laughs."
God mocks their feeble plans, for He could easily flood the Earth and end everyone's life. This is funny, when you think about it: God, sitting up in Heaven, watching people plot against Him and denounce God's Word. It's probably the same reaction He gets when atheists mock God's existence. He mocks them. He laughs at them.
But, in the end, we should both love and fear Him. He is the Protector of all who ask for it.
It also mentions that He will be sending a King, who is his Son. This, of course, is the foretelling of Jesus. And that his Son will from the City of David, which also proves to be true.
One of the best lines--besides the line where the Lord laughs--is where it says, "Serve the Lord with fear." Serve Him, and he will reward you.
