If it [Psalm 2] be interpreted of the Messiah, the matter is clear. (Aben
Ezra)
Rabbis have taught this concerns the Messiah-King... (Rabbi Shlomo Yitzhaki)
Our Rabbis taught, The Holy One, blessed be He, will say to the Messiah,
the son of David (May he reveal himself speedily in our days!), " Psalm 2:7,8 Ask of
me anything, and I will give it to thee", as it is said, I will tell of
the decree etc. this day have I begotten thee, ask of me and I will give the
nations for thy inheritance. (Babylonian Talmud, Sukkah 52a)
In the mystical writing of the Zohar: "Behold Jehovah, rideth
swift upon a cloud."
"
it is the Son, of Whom it is written, 'Kiss the Son'; Thou art the
Son, the faithful shepherd; of Thee it is said, 'Kiss the Son.' Tho Thou art
the Governor of the universe, the Head of Israel, the Lord of the ministering
angels, the Son of the Highest, the Son of the Holy and blessed One, yea the
very Shechinah." Part 3, folio 307, Amsterdam edition
Psalm.2
[1] Why do the heathen rage, and the people imagine a vain thing?
[2] The kings of the earth set themselves, and the rulers take counsel together, against the LORD, and against his anointed, saying,
[3] Let us break their bands asunder, and cast away their cords from us.
[4] He that sitteth in the heavens shall laugh: the Lord shall have them in derision.
[5] Then shall he speak unto them in his wrath, and vex them in his sore displeasure.
[6] Yet have I set my king upon my holy hill of Zion.
[7] I will declare the decree: the LORD hath said unto me, Thou art my Son; this day have I begotten thee.
[8] Ask of me, and I shall give thee the heathen for thine inheritance, and the uttermost parts of the earth for thy possession.
[9] Thou shalt break them with a rod of iron; thou shalt dash them in pieces like a potter's vessel.
[10] Be wise now therefore, O ye kings: be instructed, ye judges of the earth.
[11] Serve the LORD with fear, and rejoice with trembling.
[12] Kiss the Son, lest He ( the Son ) be angry, and ye perish from the way, when His ( the Son ) wrath is kindled but a little. Blessed are all
they that put their trust in Him.( the Son )
