Context of Psalms 2:6
4The Lord who sits on his throne in heaven laughs at them. He says that their plans are useless. 5Then he becomes very angry and he frightens them. He warns them with strong words and he says, ‘I have put my king on his throne in Zion. I have put him on my holy mountain.’ 7I will tell you what the Lord has promised to me, his king. He said to me, ‘You are my son. Yes, today I have become your father! 8Ask me and see what I will do! I will give you all the nations on the earth. They will all belong to you.
