Ask of me, and I shall give you the nations for your inheritance, and the uttermost parts of the earth for your possession.
All Commentaries on Psalms 2:8 Go To Psalms 2
George Leo Haydock
AD 1849
Ask. The Messias must be invested with human nature, and merit all graces for man. When did David ask for such an extensive dominion? (Berthier)
But Christ's kingdom extends over the world. His Church cannot fail, as St. Augustine proved hence against the Donatists, and his arguments confute Protestants as well. (Worthington)
Our doctors used to refer this psalm to the Messias, said R. Solomon; but it is better to apply it to David, on account of "Christians. "(Du Hamel)
