Psalm 2:7–9
The Messiah's reign is validated by God's decree of Sonship, granting Him the authority to inherit the world and judge the rebellious.
7 I will tell of the decree: Yahweh said to me, “You are my son. Today I have become your father.
8 Ask of me, and I will give the nations for your inheritance, the uttermost parts of the earth for your possession.
9 You shall break them with a rod of iron. You shall dash them in pieces like a potter’s vessel.”
