Commentary on Psalms 2:8

Theological / Devotional

Ask of me. The relation between Jehovah and the Messiah is such that any request of the Son would be granted. The utter futility of any attempt of the rebels to overthrow the government of the Anointed One is emphasized. As heir, the Son inherits all things, and is thus able to share them with us as heirs together with Him (see on Rom. 8:17).
