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! |
Subject: Is NASB the "most literal" in Ps. 2:12? |
Bible Note: I love it! This is exactly why I was asking. I wanted to know what nitty-gritty was going on "behind-the-textual-scenes," as it were. This is quite a great answer and I appreciate very much your finding it and posting it. Because of the problems of translating it, these details bring in some confusion, but in another way, there is more clarity in that we can at least get some idea of the many possible meanings this command might have. It also adds some dimension to the command because of the possible nuances and definitely highlights Jesus' Kingship in a special way. Is "Derek Kidner's Tyndale Old Testament Commentary on Psalms 1-72, published by Inter-Varsity Press" a book that you own, or something that one can find on the net? Anyway, thanks once again. Very cool answer. -- waldo |
