诗篇 2:8-9 RCUVSS

The Pulpit Commentary - Psalms 2:1-12

The Divine King. This psalm is supposed by some to have been written about the time of the coronation of Solomon. The heathen might then be the subject nations outside of Palestine, which threatened rebellion at this time. The seventh verse is applied to Christ in Hebrews 1:1-14 . Let us use the psalm in this higher application of it to Christ. I. THE REBELLION OF THE WORLD AGAINST CHRIST . 1 . Is an unrighteous rebellion. Rebellion against evil powers is a... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Psalms 2:8

Ask of me, and I shall give thee the heathen for thine inheritance. A very small part of the heathen were the inheritance of David, and therefore the Messiah only can be spoken of in this verse. Before Messiah "all kings" were to "fall down; all nations to do him service" ( Psalms 72:11 ; comp. Isaiah 49:22 ; Isaiah 60:3 , Isaiah 60:4 ; Matthew 28:19 , etc.). And the uttermost parts of the earth for thy possession (comp. Isaiah 52:10 ; Jeremiah 16:19 ; Micah 5:4 ; ... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Psalms 2:8

The kingdom and glory of Christ. "Ask," etc. We have the highest authority for regarding this psalm as a prophecy of the kingdom and glory of Christ. Interpreters labour in vain to fix on some occasion in Israel's history to account for its composition. No adequate explanation can be imagined of its scope and language but that given in Acts 4:25 (comp. Acts 13:33 ; Hebrews 1:5 ). Acts 4:10-12 would be blasphemous arrogance if spoken by and of a mere earthly king. Here is a... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Psalms 2:9

Thou shalt break them with a rod of iron . It is said that these words, and those of the next clause, "cannot describe the mild rule of Christ" (Rosenmuller, Do Wette, Hupfeld, etc.). But the objectors forget that there is a severe, as well as a mild, side to the dealings of God with his human creatures. St. Paul notes in the same verse both the "severity" and the "goodness" of God ( Romans 11:22 ). Christ, though "the Prince of Peace," "came to send a sword upon the earth" ( Matthew... read more

Albert Barnes' Notes on the Whole Bible - Psalms 2:8

Ask of me - That is, of God. This is a part of the “decree” or purpose, as mentioned in Psalms 2:7. That decree embraced not only the design to constitute him as his Son, in the sense that he was to be king in Zion, but also the purpose to give him a dominion embracing “the heathen” and “the uttermost parts of the earth.” This wide dominion was to be given him on condition that he would “ask” for it, thus keeping up the idea that Yahweh, as such, is the great source of authority and empire, and... read more

Albert Barnes' Notes on the Whole Bible - Psalms 2:9

Thou shalt break them with a rod of iron - That is, evidently, thine enemies, for it cannot be supposed to be meant that he would sway such a scepter over his own people. The idea is that he would crush and subdue all his foes. He would have absolute power, and the grant which had been made to him would be accompanied with authority sufficient to hold it. That dominion which was to be conceded to him would be not only one of protection to his friends, but also of punishment on his enemies; and... read more

Joseph Benson's Commentary of the Old and New Testaments - Psalms 2:8

Psalms 2:8. Ask of me Claim or demand it of me as thy right by my promise, and thy birth and purchase; the heathen for thine inheritance To be possessed and enjoyed by thee in the manner of an inheritance, namely, surely and perpetually. Thus “Christ was to enter upon the exercise of the intercessorial branch of his priestly office, with a request to the Father that the heathen world, &c., might be given for his inheritance, in return for the labours he had undergone, and the pains he... read more

Joseph Benson's Commentary of the Old and New Testaments - Psalms 2:9

Psalms 2:9. Thou shalt break them with a rod of iron Those people that will not quietly submit to thee shall be crushed and destroyed by thy mighty power, which they shall never be able to resist. This was in part fulfilled when the Jews, who persisted in unbelief, were destroyed by the Roman power: and in the destruction of the pagan power when the Christian religion came to be established. But it will not be completely fulfilled till all opposing power and principality be put down. read more

Bridgeway Bible Commentary - Psalms 2:1-12

Psalms 2:0 God’s rulerThere is no title to this psalm, though Acts 4:25 indicates that the writer was David. The psalm was probably written to celebrate some great national occasion such as the coronation of a king. It was a reminder to the king, the people and the enemy nations that the Israelite king was, in a sense, God’s son, the one through whom God exercised his rule (2 Samuel 7:11-16; cf. Exodus 4:22). Through him God would overpower all opposition and establish his rule on the earth.In... read more
