NASB | Psalm 2:12 Do homage to the Son, that He not become angry, and you perish in the way, For His wrath may soon be kindled. How blessed are all who take refuge in Him! |
AMPLIFIED 2015 | Psalm 2:12 Kiss (pay respect to) the Son, so that He does not become angry, and you perish in the way, For His wrath may soon be kindled and set aflame. How blessed [fortunate, prosperous, and favored by God] are all those who take refuge in Him! |
Bible Question (short): Is NASB the "most literal" in Ps. 2:12? |
Question (full): Concerning Psalm 2:12, any Greek or Hebrew experts out there? Why on earth does the NASB translate this "Do homage to the Son," while every other translation uses "Kiss the Son," and the Hebrew word here -- as far as I can tell from my lexicons -- is the word for "kiss"? I know that some ancient manuscripts use "do homage" but the Hebrew word still seems to be "kiss." I thought the NASB was the "most literal"; in this case, though, it does not seem to be. ????? waldo |
