Of the Eternal Sonship of the Messiah.
The Futile Rage Of The Nations.
That the entire psalm is Messianic is clearly shown by the quotation Acts 4:25-26, together with the explanation there added: "For of a truth against Thy holy Child Jesus, whom Thou hast anointed,.. the people.. were gathered together," v. 27. Cf Acts 13:33; Hebrews 1:5.
1 Why do the heathen rage,a and the people imagine a vain thing?
2 The kings of the earth set themselves, and the rulers take counsel together, against the LORD, and against his anointed, saying,
3 Let us break their bands asunder, and cast away their cords from us.
4 He that sitteth in the heavens shall laugh: the Lord shall have them in derision.
5 Then shall he speak unto them in his wrath, and vexb them in his sore displeasure.
6 Yet have I setc my king upon my holy hill of Zion.
