Psalms 2:8

Jesus Christ

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.

Ask Me, and I will make the nations Your inheritance, the ends of the earth Your possession.

9 You will break them with an iron scepter; You will shatter them like pottery.”

10 Therefore be wise, O kings; be admonished, O judges of the earth.

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.
