God's "son" is Israel??
>As A. Grossman sustains, Rashi was against the Messianic inter- pretation of this psalm because such interpretation supports the Christian view.29 In consequence, Rashi preferred to look back to Israel’s history and found a historical episode which the psalm connects with. According to Rashi, this psalm is a reference to the biblical episode in which David was anointed as king over Israel and the ensuing rebellion of the Philistines (2 Sam 5:17– 25). Rashi’s comments on Ps 2:6 imply that the king enthroned on Zion (Ps 2:6) is David, appointed by the Lord to reign on Zion. Verse 7 is interpreted as the words pronounced by David when he accepted the decree of the Lord that he would be king: “This is an established decree, and one that I have received to tell this and to make this known.” The expression ask of me (Ps 2:8) is interpreted as the words of the Lord to king David:"Pray to Me whenever you are about to wage war against your enemies.” Rashi also explains that David received God’s message contained in Ps 2:7–9 “through the agency of the prophets Nathan, Gad, and Samuel.” According to Rashi, the words of the Lord containing a prophecy can only be received by human beings through a prophet.
