These words do not vary in sense from what we read, Psalms 2:2, but are the same for substance. The kings; not only such who in a strict sense we call kings, but any chief governors, as Herod and Pilate were. The rulers; the sanhedrim, or great council of the Jews. Against the Lord; God looks upon it as done against him, whatsoever is done against them that fear him; thus the Israelites are said to be gathered together against the Lord, Numbers 16:11, who were gathered against Moses and Aaron. And against his Christ; our Saviour was at the right hand of his Father, but they who afflict his members afflict him; he cries from heaven to Saul, Why persecutest thou me? Acts 9:4; and had before told his disciples, He that despiseth you despiseth me, Luke 10:16.
