Psalms 2:5
3 “Let us break Their chains and cast away Their cords.”
4 The One enthroned in heaven laughs; the Lord taunts them.
Then He rebukes them in His anger, and terrifies them in His fury:
6 “I have installed My King on Zion, upon My holy mountain.”
7 I will proclaim the decree spoken to Me by the LORD: “You are My Son; today I have become Your Father.
This was said to Israel at a particular time, so it is wise to read it together with the surrounding text. Do read the surrounding verses too, because the context often says more than a single verse.
