Adam Clarke's Bible Commentary Verse 6. I set my king upon my holy hill of Zion. ] Here the Gospel shall be first preached; here the kingdom of Christ shall be founded; and from hence shall the doctrine of the Lord go out into all the earth.
Matthew Henry Commentary
Verses 1-6 - We are here told who would appear as adversaries to Christ. As thi world is the kingdom of Satan, unconverted men, of every rank, party and character, are stirred up by him to oppose the cause of God. But the rulers of the earth generally have been most active. The truths an precepts of Christianity are against ambitious projects and worldl lusts. We are told what they aim at in this opposition. They woul break asunder the bands of conscience, and the cords of God' commandments; they will not receive, but cast them away as far as the can. These enemies can show no good cause for opposing so just and holy a government, which, if received by all, would bring a heaven upo earth. They can hope for no success in so opposing so powerful kingdom. The Lord Jesus has all power both in heaven and in earth, an is Head over all things to the church, notwithstanding the restles endeavours of his enemies. Christ's throne is set up in his church that is, in the hearts of all believers.
