Commentary on Psalms 2:6

Theological / Devotional

Yet have I set my king. “Yet” is the translation of the Hebrew conjunction generally translated “and,” but which here has the force of introducing a quotation. The pronoun “I” is emphatic, and is contrasted sharply with “them” (v. 5) referring to those who conspire against Jehovah.

My holy hill of Zion. See Ps. 48:2. Zion, the name of the southern hill in the city of Jerusalem, becomes its poetical name.
