This is really a continuation of Psalm 1. Now the Psalmist turns to the futility of those who plot and rage against God. We should bear this attitude in mind as well when people today scoff and sneer at the gospel. We are not defending an idea, but proclaiming the truth that God gave us. God is the maker and sustained or all things, and in the end He will demonstrate His glory to the whole world. We need not fear when other oppose God. Equally we have no need to indulge in underhand tactics (and definitely not violent ones!). We should proclaim and argue the truth, but we need to remember that God is perfectly able of defending Himself. So we should do everything in a Christlike manner.
Man's rantings and ravings are futile and invite only ridicule from God. Jesus has been declared Lord of All by God, and all the world will become His inheritance.
We also need to remember that the Lord will come again on power and judgement. The rulers of the earth would be wise to submit to God, rather than fight a futile battle.
