2

1 לָ֭מָּה רָגְשׁ֣וּ גוֹיִ֑ם וּ֝לְאֻמִּ֗ים יֶהְגּוּ־רִֽיק׃ Why are the nations in an uproar? And why do the peoples mutter in vain?

2 יִ֥תְיַצְּב֨וּ ׀ מַלְכֵי־אֶ֗רֶץ וְרוֹזְנִ֥ים נֽוֹסְדוּ־יָ֑חַד עַל־יְ֝הֹוָ֗ה וְעַל־מְשִׁיחֽוֹ׃ The kings of the earth stand up, And the rulers take counsel together, Against the LORD, and against His anointed:

3 נְֽ֭נַתְּקָה אֶת־מֽוֹסְרוֹתֵ֑ימוֹ וְנַשְׁלִ֖יכָה מִמֶּ֣נּוּ עֲבֹתֵֽימוֹ׃ 'Let us break their bands asunder, and cast away their cords from us.'

4 יוֹשֵׁ֣ב בַּשָּׁמַ֣יִם יִשְׂחָ֑ק אֲ֝דֹנָ֗י יִלְעַג־לָֽמוֹ׃ He that sitteth in heaven laugheth, the Lord hath them in derision.

5 אָ֤ז יְדַבֵּ֣ר אֵלֵ֣ימוֹ בְאַפּ֑וֹ וּֽבַחֲרוֹנ֥וֹ יְבַהֲלֵֽמוֹ׃ Then will He speak unto them in His wrath, and affright them in His sore displeasure:

6 וַ֭אֲנִי נָסַ֣כְתִּי מַלְכִּ֑י עַל־צִ֝יּ֗וֹן הַר־קׇדְשִֽׁי׃ 'Truly it is I that have established My king upon Zion, My holy mountain.'

7 אֲסַפְּרָ֗ה אֶֽ֫ל־חֹ֥ק יְֽהֹוָ֗ה אָמַ֘ר־אֵלַ֥י בְּנִ֥י אַ֑תָּה אֲ֝נִ֗י הַיּ֥וֹם יְלִדְתִּֽיךָ׃ I will tell of the decree: The LORD said unto me: 'Thou art My son, this day have I begotten thee.

8 שְׁאַ֤ל מִמֶּ֗נִּי וְאֶתְּנָ֣ה ג֭וֹיִם נַחֲלָתֶ֑ךָ וַ֝אֲחֻזָּתְךָ֗ אַפְסֵי־אָֽרֶץ׃ Ask of Me, and I will give the nations for thine inheritance, and the ends of the earth for thy possession.

9 תְּ֭רֹעֵם בְּשֵׁ֣בֶט בַּרְזֶ֑ל כִּכְלִ֖י יוֹצֵ֣ר תְּנַפְּצֵֽם׃ Thou shalt break them with a rod of iron; Thou shalt dash them in pieces like a potter's vessel.'

10 וְ֭עַתָּה מְלָכִ֣ים הַשְׂכִּ֑ילוּ הִ֝וָּסְר֗וּ שֹׁ֣פְטֵי אָֽרֶץ׃ Now therefore, O ye kings, be wise; be admonished, ye judges of the earth.

11 עִבְד֣וּ אֶת־יְהֹוָ֣ה בְּיִרְאָ֑ה וְ֝גִ֗ילוּ בִּרְעָדָֽה׃ Serve the LORD with fear, and rejoice with trembling.

12 נַשְּׁקוּ־בַ֡ר פֶּן־יֶאֱנַ֤ף ׀ וְתֹ֬אבְדוּ דֶ֗רֶךְ כִּֽי־יִבְעַ֣ר כִּמְעַ֣ט אַפּ֑וֹ אַ֝שְׁרֵ֗י כׇּל־ח֥וֹסֵי בֽוֹ׃ {פ}
Do homage in purity, lest He be angry, and ye perish in the way, when suddenly His wrath is kindled. Happy are all they that take refuge in Him.

Commentary on Psalms 2:11

Rashi

English

and rejoice with quaking When the quaking, about which it is written (Isa. 33:14): “Trembling seized the flatterers,” comes, you will rejoice and be happy if you have served the Lord.

Ibn Ezra

English

Serve (עִבְדוּ - ivdu): [This command is] the opposite of their words [in verse 3], "Let us break (nenattekah) [their cords]." And the service of HaShem [should be] out of fear (le-yir'ah) of Him, and [so as] not to transgress His command (lit. His mouth).

And rejoice (וְגִילוּ - ve-gilu): If joy (gil) comes, do not forget that you should tremble (tir'adu) out of fear of HaShem. [Explaining the combination "rejoice with trembling"].

And some say (v'yesh omrim): [That the imperative form] rejoice (gilu) is like [the future/imperfect form] "you will rejoice" (tagilu). [This follows] the pattern of [sequences where imperatives imply a consequence or condition, like (Deuteronomy 32:50)] "Ascend (aleh) ... and die (u-mut) on the mountain," or [like the blessing in (Genesis 1:22)] "Be fruitful (p'ru) and multiply (u-rvu)," which is a blessing upon the fish of the sea. And the meaning [according to this second view] is: That you will rejoice (tagilu) if you have [first] trembled (ra'adtem) out of [fear of] HaShem.

Radak (David Kimhi)

English

Serve the Lord: – Take pleasure in what He takes pleasure in, and serve Him

with fear: – because ye should be in awe of Him, and know that power and might are His, and not with you who have come up with much people;

And exult: – Be not angry at (the fact of) my kingdom, but be glad and exult, because it is the good pleasure of God;

with trembling: – and tremble because of Him.
