Antiguo Testamento

Psalms — Capítulo 2

Jesus and the apostles loved the book of Psalms—they quoted from it and lived out of it. These ancient prayers and praises of Israel provide a bridge between the Old Testament and the New Testament; the themes introduced in the psalms find further development in the New Testament. Where David’s dynasty failed, Jesus gives hope. Yet, certain expectations that emerge in the book of Psalms still r…

1¿Por qué se amotinan las gentes, Y los pueblos piensan cosas vanas?

2Se levantarán los reyes de la tierra, Y príncipes consultarán unidos Contra Jehová y contra su ungido, diciendo:

3Rompamos sus ligaduras, Y echemos de nosotros sus cuerdas.

4El que mora en los cielos se reirá; El Señor se burlará de ellos.

5Luego hablará a ellos en su furor, Y los turbará con su ira.

6Pero yo he puesto mi rey Sobre Sion, mi santo monte.

7Yo publicaré el decreto; Jehová me ha dicho: Mi hijo eres tú; Yo te engendré hoy.

8Pídeme, y te daré por herencia las naciones, Y como posesión tuya los confines de la tierra.

9Los quebrantarás con vara de hierro; Como vasija de alfarero los desmenuzarás.

10Ahora, pues, oh reyes, sed prudentes; Admitid amonestación, jueces de la tierra.

11Servid a Jehová con temor, Y alegraos con temblor.

12Honrad al Hijo, para que no se enoje, y perezcáis en el camino; Pues se inflama de pronto su ira. Bienaventurados todos los que en él confían.

Ps 2 This royal psalm pertains to the Lord’s appointment of a king descended from David. It celebrates the mission of all the kings in David’s line, and it introduces the hope of an ideal ruler who will accomplish the Lord’s goal of bringing all nations into submission (2:11) or to destruction (2:9). The New Testament identifies Jesus as this descendant (see Acts 13:33; 1 Cor 15:25-27; Heb 1:5; 5:5; Rev 19:15). 2:1-3 Their futile paths lead to death (1:4, 6), but fallen human beings unite in opposing the true God and his Messiah. 2:1 plans: The Hebrew verb rendered “meditate” in 1:2 here suggests an attitude of opposing the Lord in speech (Isa 59:13) or in thought (Ps 38:12; Prov 24:2).

2:2 The kings hate the Lord’s established order in the world, so they desire to be independent of him (see 36:4). They scheme about dominating the Lord’s people (31:13; see 83:1-4). Their goal is to subvert the Lord’s rule in the world by overthrowing his anointed one (or his messiah); the Lord chose the kings of David’s dynasty to establish his kingdom throughout the earth. The New Testament confirms that Jesus, the appointed and anointed Son of God (Acts 4:26; 13:33; Heb 1:5; 5:5), fulfills the role in which these earlier kings failed.

2:3 break their chains: These kings believe that acknowledging the true God and his chosen ruler will result in their enslavement (Isa 28:22; 52:2; cp. Lam 3:7; Rom 1:1; 1 Cor 7:22; Titus 1:1).

2:4-6 The Lord finds the human threat insignificant. He provided a solution long before their rebellion. He will end their agitation through the appointment of a human agent, a descendant of David’s line who will rule the nations. 2:4 rules in heaven: The Lord’s place in the universe is so certain that he scoffs at humans who boast that they can rebel against his power and authority (see 37:13; 59:8).

Versículo 6

V. 2:6 my chosen king: The Lord establishes his anointed ruler.

2:6 my chosen king: The Lord establishes his anointed ruler.

2:7-9 The Lord adopted the king of David’s dynasty to conquer rebellious nations by force (see 89:26-27). 2:7 Today I have become your Father: People in the ancient Near East commonly accepted a father-son relationship between gods and kings. In Israel, the Lord adopted kings as his sons. God set David apart as his most excellent and exalted son (89:27). All descendants of David were the Lord’s representatives or agents. As an eternal member of the Godhead (John 1:1) and a descendant of David (Acts 13:33; Heb 1:5; 5:5), Jesus is the true Son of God.

Versículo 8

2:8 In an example of the suzerain-vassal relationship between the Lord and Israel’s king (see Deuteronomy Book Introduction, “Literary Form”), the Lord invites the king to ask for favors (see Ps 21:2, 4). • All nations will be subject to David’s descendant, the Messiah.

2:9 The Lord gives his anointed ruler the power to conquer the nations as his inheritance (Isa 11:4; Rev 2:27; 12:5; 19:15), breaking their rebellion, resistance, and independence.

2:10 It pleases the Lord when his people submit to him and seek his protection. The wise accept the Lord’s rebuke and desire to repent.

2:11-12 rejoice: Rulers must welcome the Son as their true and only King. • Submit to God’s royal son (or Submit to God’s royal Son, or kiss the son): Kissing was an expression of submission (Hos 13:2). • The Lord gives joy to all who fear him (Ps 1:1-2) and trust him (18:30; 34:22; 119:1-3).
