Salmos 2

Henry put it, “Those that will not bow shall break.” (Psalm 2: Is The World Out Of Control?) Martin Luther.—“Serve the Lord with fear, and rejoice with trembling.” There are two kinds of serving and rejoicing in God. First, a serving in security, and a rejoicing in the Lord without fear; these are peculiar to hypocrites, who are secure, who please themselves, and who appear to themselves to be not unuseful servants, and to have great merit on their side, concerning whom it is said (Psalm 10:5), “Thy judgments are far above out of his sight;” and also afterwards (Psalm 36:1), “There is no fear of God before his eyes.” These do righteousness without judgment at all times; and permit not Christ to be the Judge to be feared by all, in whose sight no man living is justified. Secondly, a serving with fear and a rejoicing with trembling; these are peculiar to the righteous who do righteousness at all times, and always rightly attempt both; never being without judgments, on the one hand, by which they are terrified and brought to despair of themselves and of all their own works; nor without that righteousness, on the other, on which they rest, and in which they rejoice in the mercy of God. It is the work of the whole lives of these characters to accuse themselves in all things, and in all things to justify and praise God. And thus they fulfil that word of Proverbs, “Blessed is the man that feareth alway” (28:14); and also that of Philip, 4:4, “Rejoice in the Lord alway.” Thus, between the upper and nether mill-stone (Deut. 24:6), they are broken in pieces and humbled, and the husks thus being bruised off, they come forth the all-pure wheat of Christ. Thomas Watson, 1660.—The fear of God promotes spiritual joy; it is the morning star which ushers in the sunlight of comfort. “Walking in the fear of God, and in the comfort of the Holy Ghost.” God mingles joy with fear, that fear may not be slavish. William Bates, D.D., 1625–1699.—“Serve the Lord with fear.” This fear of God qualifies our joy. If you abstract fear from joy, joy will become light and wanton; and if you abstract joy from fear, fear then will become slavish.— 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! (NASB95) KJV Kiss the Son, lest he be angry, and ye perish from the way, when his wrath is kindled but a little. Blessed are all they that put their trust in him.

Jn 14:6 — Jesus *said to him, "I am the way, and the truth, and the life; no one comes to the Father but through Me. when Ps 2:5 — Then He will speak to them in His anger And terrify them in His fury, saying, 2Th 1:8 — dealing out retribution to those who do not know God and to those who do not obey the gospel of our Lord Jesus. 2Th 1:9 — These will pay the penalty of eternal destruction, away from the presence of the Lord and from the glory of His power, Rev 6:16 — and they *said to the mountains and to the rocks, "Fall on us and hide us from the presence of Him who sits on the throne, and from the wrath of the Lamb; Rev 6:17 — for the great day of their wrath has come, and who is able to stand?"

Do homage to the Son, that He not become angry, and you perish in the way, For His wrath may soon be kindled - NET - "Give sincere homage. Otherwise he will be angry, and you will die because of your behavior, when his anger quickly ignites" NET NOTE on perish in the way - Heb “and you will perish [in the] way.” The Hebrew word דֶּרֶךְ (derekh, “way”) here refers to their rebellious behavior (not to a pathway, as often understood). It functions syntactically as an adverbial accusative in relation to the verb “perish.” NET NOTE on kindled - Or “burns.” The Lord’s anger is compared here to fire, the most destructive force known in ancient Israel.
