Context of Psalms 2:5
3“Let us break apart their [divine] bands [of restraint] And cast away their cords [of control] from us.” 4He who sits [enthroned] in the heavens laughs [at their rebellion]; The [Sovereign] Lord scoffs at them [and in supreme contempt He mocks them]. Then He will speak to them in His [profound] anger And terrify them with His displeasure, saying, 6“Yet as for Me, I have anointed and firmly installed My King Upon Zion, My holy mountain.” 7“I will declare the decree of the Lord: He said to Me, ‘You are My Son; This day [I proclaim] I have begotten You.

Commentaries on Psalms 2:5
- Adam Clarke Bible Commentary · v. 5Then shall he speak unto them in his wrath - He did so to the Jews who rejected the Gospel, and vexed and ruined them by the Roman armies; he did so with the opposing Roman emperors, destroying all the contending factions, till he brought the empire under the dominion of one, and him he converted to Christianity viz., Constantine the Great.Read the comment
- Barnes’ Notes on the Bible · v. 5Then shall he speak unto them - That is, this seeming indifference and unconcern will not last forever.
