6 "I have installed my king on Zion, my holy mountain."
6 Yet have I set
6 "As for me, I have set my King on Zion, my holy hill."
6 "Don't you know there's a King in Zion? A coronation banquet Is spread for him on the holy summit."
6 "Yet I have set My King On My holy hill of Zion."
6 For the Lord declares, "I have placed my chosen king on the throne in Jerusalem, on my holy mountain."
Matthew Henry's Commentary on Psalm 2:6
Commentary on Psalm 2:1-6
(Read Psalm 2:1-6)
We are here told who would appear as adversaries to Christ. As this world is the kingdom of Satan, unconverted men, of every rank, party, and character, are stirred up by him to oppose the cause of God. But the rulers of the earth generally have been most active. The truths and precepts of Christianity are against ambitious projects and worldly lusts. We are told what they aim at in this opposition. They would break asunder the bands of conscience, and the cords of God's commandments; they will not receive, but cast them away as far as they can. These enemies can show no good cause for opposing so just and holy a government, which, if received by all, would bring a heaven upon earth. They can hope for no success in so opposing so powerful a kingdom. The Lord Jesus has all power both in heaven and in earth, and is Head over all things to the church, notwithstanding the restless endeavours of his enemies. Christ's throne is set up in his church, that is, in the hearts of all believers.
