The Rebuke - 2:5-8 Then shall he speak unto them in his wrath, and vex them in his sore displeasure.

The Response 6 Yet have I set my king upon my holy hill of Zion.7 I will declare the decree: the LORD hath said unto me, Thou art my Son; this day have I begotten thee. 8 Ask of me, and I shall give thee the heathen for thine inheritance, and the uttermost parts of the earth for thy possession.
