Psalm 2: “Kiss the son”?
The crux interpretum of the second psalm has been the four words that span the end of the eleventh verse and the beginning of the twelfth. A “straight” reading of the MT for these words yields: “Rejoice with trembling. Kiss the son” (cf. ASV, ESV, KJV, NIV). However, the “straight” reading is questioned from a variety of angles.
