Psalms 2:8 - Joseph Benson’s Commentary on the Old and New Testaments

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 had endured; as also to supply the place of the Jews, who were his original inheritance and possession, but were cast off because of unbelief.” Horne.
