Coffman Commentaries on the Bible - Psalms 2:8
"Ask of me, and I will give thee nations for thine inheritance, And the uttermost parts of the earth for thy possession."These words forever remove the possibility that this prophecy is a reference to King David, except in the limited sense that he was indeed a Biblical type of our Lord. Zechariah 9:9-10 also indicated the universal reign of Messiah.Of course, it is not a literal earthly kingship of Jesus Christ over worldly nations that is indicated here. Christ emphatically repudiated that... read more

Coffman Commentaries on the Bible - Psalms 2:9
"Thou shalt break them with a rod of iron; Thou shalt dash them in pieces like a potter's vessel."This is a reference to the Judgment of the Last Day, when, at last, God will wipe Adam off the face of the earth, as indicated in Zephaniah 1:3. (See my commentary on this in Vol. 3 of the minor prophets, page 131ff). Also we have a prophetic depiction of the same event in Revelation 19:11-21.These verses refer to the ultimate end of Adam's rebellious race, which is on a collision course with... read more

Coffman Commentaries on the Bible - Psalms 2:10
"Now therefore be wise, O ye kings:Be instructed, ye judges of the earth.Serve Jehovah with fear, and rejoice with trembling."The kings, rulers and judges of mankind should indeed be the spiritual leaders of the people, fearing God and showing by their example that allegiance and service which all men owe to their Creator. However, as this Psalm indicates, it is precisely this class of men who all too often have led the rebellion against God and His Christ.It is the conceit and egotism of men... read more

Coffman Commentaries on the Bible - Psalms 2:12
"Kiss the son, lest he be angry, and ye perish in the way,For his wrath will soon be kindled.Blessed are all they who take refuge in him.""Kiss the son." This was an accepted act of adoration, submission, and homage, paid to ancient kings and rulers. It was also adopted by pagan worshippers as a manner of honoring their false gods. The once-worshippers of God in the times of Hosea were saying, "Let the men that sacrifice kiss the calves"! (Hosea 13:2). "Kissing the calves, or kissing the hand... read more

Thomas Coke Commentary on the Holy Bible - Psalms 2:8-9
Psalms 2:8-9. Ask of me, &c.— This, as it refers to David, denotes God's promise to extend his dominion over all the neighbouring states and princes that opposed him, around all the borders of Judaea; and this promise was literally made good. But this extent of dominion is too small to come up to the full meaning of the expressions here made use of, which were more amply fulfilled in his great successor the Messiah, to whom God put all things in subjection in heaven and earth, and who shall... read more

Thomas Coke Commentary on the Holy Bible - Psalms 2:12
Psalms 2:12. Kiss the Son— The Son primarily denotes David himself; but the character is more especially applicable to his great successor, who is the Son of God, in a more appropriate and much higher sense than David. A kiss in the East was a token of respect and reverence from inferiors to their superiors: so that kissing David means paying that homage and veneration which was due to him as God's adopted son and king, and which was paid to eastern monarchs by their subjects. Kissing the hand... read more
