John Trapp on Psalms 2:5

Verſ. 5. Then ſhall he ſpeak unto them, &c.] Hep. He ſhall tell them, viz. a peece of his minde, to their ſmall comfort. As a great Prince ſitting on a lofty Throne, rateth his Rebels when once he hath brought them before him, and pronounceth ſentence upon them in fierce wrath. See Jer. 52.9. ſo will the King of Heaven do by his ſturdy refractories. Whether he will ſpeak unto them by his words, or by his rods, Job 33.14, 19, 20, 21. and when he will do it, he hath reſerved in his own power and pleaſure, Acts 1.7. but ſooner or later he will not fail to do it; and Poena venit gravior, quò magè ſeravenit.

And vex them] Or trouble them, as he did the Babel-builders, Pharaoh, Sennacherib, others: Either by horror of Conſcience, or corporal Plagues, one way or other he will have his penny-worths of them, as he had of the old and late Perſecutors of his people.
