Study note

Psalm 2:11–12

  • rejoice: Leaders should accept the Son as their true and only King.

  • Kiss the Son: Kissing was an expression of submission (Hosea 13:2).

  • The Lord gives joy to those who fear him. To fear the Lord means to honor him, respect him, and obey him (Psalm 1:1–2). The Psalms also say that the Lord protects those who trust him (18:30; 34:22; 119:1–3).
