There is no office so honorable as that of the preacher. There is no work so important to the souls of men. It is an office which the Son of God was not ashamed to take up. It is an office to which He appointed His twelve apostles. It is an office to which Paul in his old age specially directs Timothy's attention. He charges him with almost his last breath to "preach the word." It is the means which God has always been pleased to use above any other, for the conversion and edification of souls. The brightest days of the Church have been those when preaching has been honored. The darkest days of the Church have been those when it has been lightly esteemed. Let us honor the sacraments and public prayers of the Church, and reverently use them. But let us beware that we do not place them above preaching.

2:1 Waarom woel die nasies en bedink die volke nietige dinge?

2:2 Die konings van die aarde staan gereed, en die vorste hou saam raad teen die HERE en teen sy Gesalfde en sê:

2:3 Laat ons hulle bande stukkend ruk en hulle toue van ons afwerp!

2:4 Hy wat in die hemel woon, lag; die Here spot met hulle.

2:5 Dan sal Hy hulle aanspreek in sy toorn, en in sy grimmigheid sal Hy hulle verskrik:

2:6 Ek tog het my Koning gesalf oor Sion, my heilige berg.

2:7 Ek wil vertel van die besluit: Die HERE het aan My gesê: U is my Seun, vandag het Ek self U gegenereer.

2:8 Eis van My, en Ek wil nasies gee as u erfdeel en die eindes van die aarde as u besitting.

2:9 U sal hulle verpletter met ‘n ysterstaf, U sal hulle stukkend slaan soos ‘n erdepot.

2:10 Wees dan nou verstandig, o konings; laat julle waarsku, o regters van die aarde!

2:11 Dien die HERE met vrees, en juig met bewing.

2:12 Kus die Seun, dat Hy nie toornig word en julle op die weg vergaan nie; want gou kan sy toorn ontvlam. Welgeluksalig is almal wat by Hom skuil!
