Psalms 2:3

Psalms 2:3. Let us break their bands— This is the language of the nations and people instigating each other to this impious war. To be in bonds, and tied with cords, is to be reduced to the utmost state of vassalage: and the kings and nations counted their subjection to David the most dishonourable servitude, and therefore were determined, if they could, to break their bands, and cast away their cords; i.e. to renounce the dominion of David whom the Lord had made king, and free themselves from all subjection to him. And thus the Jews, the nations, and princes of the earth, united themselves in opposition to the kingdom of Christ, to destroy his authority, extirpate his religion, and prevent men's obedience to, and worship of God, by Jesus Christ.
