Psalms 2:1

Verse 1. Raged. Hebrew “come together with tumult,” (Sym.) “loud cries,” like a furious army, composed of several nations. Bible.—Why have the Philistines, and so forth assembled to obstruct my reign? or ( Calmet.) “why will the Gentiles be troubled, and the tribes meditate vain things?” Saint Jerome Pilate, Herod, and the chiefs of the Jews, met to destroy the Messias; though, on other occasions, they were at variance. Bible.—Their attempts were fruitless. Their false witnesses could not agree. Calmet.—The priests had, in vain, meditated on the law, since they had not discovered Him who was the end of it. Saint Athanasius and so forth—People of Israel. Acts 4:27. Menochius.
