10 Therefore, you kings, be wise; be warned, you rulers of the earth.
10 Be wise now therefore, O ye kings: be instructed, ye judges of the earth.
10 Now therefore, O kings, be wise; be warned, O rulers of the earth.
10 So, rebel-kings, use your heads; Upstart-judges, learn your lesson:
10 Now therefore, be wise, O kings; Be instructed, you judges of the earth.
10 Now then, you kings, act wisely! Be warned, you rulers of the earth!
8 I will instruct you and teach you in the way you should go; I will counsel you with my loving eye on you.
8 I will instruct thee and teach thee in the way which thou shalt go: I will guide
8 I will instruct you and teach you in the way you should go; I will counsel you with my eye upon you.
8 Let me give you some good advice; I'm looking you in the eye and giving it to you straight:
8 I will instruct you and teach you in the way you should go; I will guide you with My eye.
8 The Lord says, "I will guide you along the best pathway for your life. I will advise you and watch over you.
(Read Psalm 32:8-11)
God teaches by his word, and guides with the secret intimations of his will. David gives a word of caution to sinners. The reason for this caution is, that the way of sin will certainly end in sorrow. Here is a word of comfort to saints. They may see that a life of communion with God is far the most pleasant and comfortable. Let us rejoice, O Lord Jesus, in thee, and in thy salvation; so shall we rejoice indeed.
Matthew Henry's Commentary on Psalm 2:10
Commentary on Psalm 2:10-12
(Read Psalm 2:10-12)
Whatever we rejoice in, in this world, it must always be with trembling, because of the uncertainty of all things in it. To welcome Jesus Christ, and to submit to him, is our wisdom and interest. Let him be very dear and precious; love him above all, love him in sincerity, love him much, as she did, to whom much was forgiven, and, in token of it, kissed his feet, Luke 7:38. And with a kiss of loyalty take this yoke upon you, and give up yourselves to be governed by his laws, disposed of by his providence, and entirely devoted to his cause. Unbelief is a sin against the remedy. It will be utter destruction to yourselves; lest ye perish in the way of your sins, and from the way of your vain hopes; lest your way perish, lest you prove to have missed the way of happiness. Christ is the way; take heed lest ye be cut off from Him as your way to God. They thought themselves in the way; but neglecting Christ, they perish from it. Blessed will those be in the day of wrath, who, by trusting in Christ, have made him their Refuge.
