- In Psalms 2:7 does the reference to “son” and to “birth” presuppose a literal interpretation or, rather, affectionate terminology and/or the notion of being chosen (by whom)?
- In Psalms 2:8 who is addressed — the king? Some other? A prophet?
- As to the “kings of the earth,” to whom should they offer their fealty? (Psalms 2:11)
- And, as to Psalms 2:12, who are those to be praised and who are secure?
