Context of Psalms 2:6
4He who sits in heaven laughs! Adonai mocks them. 5So He will speak to them in His anger, and terrify them in His fury: “I have set up My king upon Zion, My holy mountain.” 7I will declare the decree of Adonai. He said to me: “You are My Son— today I have become Your Father. 8Ask Me, and I will give the nations as Your inheritance, and the far reaches of the earth as Your possession.
