Then he will speak to them in his wrath, and terrify them in his fury, saying,

Commenting on Psalm 2:1-12
While rebels rage and plot, God merely speaks and His purpose stands unmoved. He has already set His King on Zion while their fury still burns; their will froths and exhausts itself in vain against His. Yet Jesus reigns, and greater triumphs wait when He shall take His power and rule from sea to sea.

Commenting on Psalm 2:5
