Pss.2

[1] Why "do" the heathen rage, 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,

Peter said:

Acts.4[25] Who by the mouth of thy servant David hast said, Why "did" the heathen rage, and the people imagine vain things?

[26] The kings of the earth stood up, and the rulers were gathered together against the Lord, and against his Christ.

[27] For of a truth against thy holy child Jesus, whom thou hast anointed, both Herod, and Pontius Pilate, with the Gentiles, and the people of Israel, were gathered together,[28] For to do whatsoever thy hand and thy counsel determined before to be done.29] And now, Lord, behold their threatenings: and grant unto thy servants, that with all boldness they may speak thy word,[30] By stretching forth thine hand to heal; and that signs and wonders may be done by the name of thy holy child Jesus.[31] And when they had prayed, the place was shaken where they were assembled together; and they were all filled with the Holy Ghost, and they spake the word of God with boldness.

Pss.2
[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 vex them in his sore displeasure.
[6] Yet have I set my king upon my holy hill of Zion.
[7] I will declare the decree: the LORD hath said unto me, Thou art my Son; this day have I begotten thee.

Paul said:

Acts.13[33] God hath fulfilled the same unto us their children, in that he hath raised up Jesus again; as it is also written in the second psalm, Thou art my Son, this day have I begotten thee.[34] And as concerning that He raised Him up from the dead, now no more to return to corruption,

He said on this wise, I will give you the sure mercies of David.

Isa.55[3] Incline your ear, and come unto me: hear, and your soul shall live; and I will make an everlasting covenant with you, even the sure mercies of David.


[35] Wherefore he saith also in another psalm, Thou shalt not suffer thine Holy One to see corruption.

David said:

Pss.16[10] For thou wilt not leave my soul in hell; neither wilt thou suffer thine Holy One to see corruption.

Peter also said it:

Acts.2[27] Because thou wilt not leave my soul in hell, neither wilt thou suffer thine Holy One to see corruption.

Acts.13[36] For David, after he had served his own generation by the will of God, fell on sleep, and was laid unto his fathers, and saw corruption:
[37] But He, whom God raised again, saw no corruption.
[38] Be it known unto you therefore, men and brethren, that through this Man is preached unto you the forgiveness of sins:
[39] And by Him all that believe are justified from all things, from which ye could not be justified by the law of Moses.


[40] Beware therefore, lest that come upon you, which is spoken of in the prophets;
[41] Behold, ye despisers, and wonder, and perish: for I work a work in your days, a work which ye shall in no wise believe, though a man declare it unto you.

Hab.1[5] Behold ye among the heathen, and regard, and wonder marvellously: for I will work a work in your days, which ye will not believe, though it be told you.

Heb.1[5] For unto which of the angels said he at any time, Thou art my Son, this day have I begotten thee? And again, I will be to him a Father, and he shall be to me a Son?

[8] Ask of me, and I shall give thee the heathen for thine inheritance, and the uttermost parts of the earth for thy possession.
[9] Thou shalt break them with a rod of iron; thou shalt dash them in pieces like a potter's vessel.
[10] Be wise now therefore, O ye kings: be instructed, ye judges of the earth.
[11] Serve the LORD with fear, and rejoice with trembling.

[12] Kiss the Son, lest He be angry, and ye perish from the way, when His wrath is kindled but a little. Blessed are all they that put their trust in Him.
