Ps. 2:11      Ps. 3:1

Psalms 2:12

Kiss the Son [honor, fall down before him in reverence and worship, let the Son reign],
lest he be angry [lest he judge you now, anger is used metonymically, as a paraphrase for an action]
and you perish in your way (you die because of your way of life),
when his wrath is quickly kindled. [God's judgment is likened here to fire, the most destructive and feared force in Israel at that time.]
Blessed (happy, fortunate) are all who take refuge in him!
[The kiss on the cheek was and is a common form of greeting in the Mediterranean region, see Ruth 1:9; Acts 20:37; Rom. 16:16. It is also an expression of respect and homage, see Ex. 18:7. The expression "in your way" is used as a metaphor for human life. In the Psalms, it is a common recurring image where there are two paths, that of the righteous and that of the wicked, see Ps. 1:6. The plural form of "blessed" (Hebr. ashrei) describes a fullness of blessings. Since the plural form does not exist in English, the word is translated as "richly blessed" and "very happy." It is the same word that begins the Book of Psalms, see Ps. 1:1.]
