Contextual Meaning

David expressed amazement that the nations would try to overthrow the Lord and the king He had placed on Israel"s throne to serve as His vice-regent. If Israel"s kings submitted to the throne in heaven, they enjoyed God"s blessing and power. To the extent that they proved faithful to God, they carried out the will and plan of God on earth.
