The Reign of the LORD’S Anointed.
Why are athe 1nations in an 2uproar in turmoil against God,And why do the people bdevise a vain and hopeless plot?Or Gentiles.I.e. a confusion of voices.Ps 46:6; 83:2-5; Acts 4:25, 26Ps 21:112 The akings of the earth take their stand;And the rulers take counsel togetherbAgainst the LORD and His cAnointed , saying, Acts 4:25-27Ps 48:4-6Ps 74:18, 23John 1:413 “Let us abreak apart their divine bands of restraintAnd cast away their cords of control from us.”Jer 5:5
4 He who sits enthroned in the heavens alaughs at their rebellion;The Sovereign 1Lord bscoffs at them and in supreme contempt He mocks them.Heb Adonai.Ps 37:13Ps 59:85 Then He will speak to them in His profound aangerAnd bterrify them with His displeasure, saying,Ps 21:8, 9; 76:7Ps 78:49, 506 “Yet as for Me, I have anointed and firmly installed aMy KingUpon Zion, bMy holy mountain.”Ps 45:6Ps 48:1, 2
7 “I will declare the decree of the LORD:He said to Me, ‘You are aMy Son;This day I proclaim I have begotten You. 2+@Sam 7:14; Heb 1:5; 3:5, 6; 2+@Pet 1:17, 18Acts 13:33; Heb 1:5; 5:58 ‘Ask of Me, and aI will assuredly give You bthe nations as Your inheritance,And the cends of the earth as Your possession.Ps 21:1, 2Ps 22:27Ps 67:79 ‘You shall abreak them with a rod of iron;You shall bshatter them in pieces like earthenware.’” Rev 12:5; 19:15Ps 89:23; 110:5, 6; Rev 2:26, 27; 12:5; 19:15Ps 28:5; 52:5; 72:4
10 Now therefore, O kings, aact wisely;Be instructed and take warning, O leaders of the earth.Prov 8:15; 27:1111 Worship the LORD and serve Him with areverence with awe-inspired fear and submissive wonder;Rejoice yet do so with btrembling.Ps 5:7Ps 119:119, 12012 Kiss the 1aSon, so that He does not become angry, and you perish in the way,For bHis wrath may soon be kindled and set aflame.How blessed fortunate, prosperous, and favored by God are all those who ctake refuge in Him!The word in the original is bar, taken to be the Aramaic for “son.” But it is surprising that an Aramaic word would be used here. The ancient rabbis maintained that a different word with the same spelling in Hebrew was intended, whose meaning is “pure.” They claimed that it is a reference to the Torah, on the ground that all the words in the Torah are pure.Ps 2:7Rev 6:16, 17Ps 5:11; 34:22
