Psalm 2 is the second psalm of the Book of Psalms, beginning in English in the King James Version: "Why do the heathen rage". In Latin, it is known as "Quare fremuerunt gentes".[1] Psalm 2 does not identify its author with a superscription, but Acts 4:24–26 in the New Testament attributes it to David.[2] According to the Talmud, Psalm 2 is a continuation of Psalm 1.
The psalm is a regular part of Jewish, Catholic, Lutheran and Anglican liturgies as well as Protestant psalmody. It has often been set to music; George Frideric Handel set nine verses in Part II of his Messiah.
