According to Psalm 1, the wise person pursues happiness by delighting in law of the LORD. Psalm 2 ends on a similar note; namely, the wise person pursues happiness by serving the LORD with joyful fear. However, despite this happy ending, Psalm 2 begins by describing the furious folly of those who fail to delight in the law of the LORD as well as the fateful futility of rebelling against the LORD and His Anointed.
