Notes on this text (1)

1 ¿Por qué se unen las naciones en contra del Señor y en vano conspiran? 2 Los reyes de la tierra se preparan para la batalla; los gobernantes se asocian contra el Señor y contra su ungido. 3 «Vamos, rompamos sus cadenas», dicen, «liberémonos de la esclavitud de Dios». 4 ¡Pero el Señor de los cielos se ríe! Se burla de ellos. 5 Y luego, con ardiente furia los reprende y los llena de espanto. 6 El Señor declara: «Este es el rey que he elegido. Lo he puesto en el trono de Jerusalén, mi santo monte». 7 Su elegido responde: «Yo revelaré los eternos propósitos de Dios, pues el Señor me ha dicho: “Tú eres mi hijo. Hoy mismo te he concebido. 8 Pídeme, y te daré como herencia todas las naciones del mundo. ¡Tuyos serán los confines de la tierra! 9 ¡Gobiérnalas con vara de hierro; rómpelas como vasijas de barro!”». 10 Ustedes, los reyes, obren sabiamente. 11 Sirvan al Señor con temor reverente; con temblor ríndale alabanza. 12 Bésenle los pies, antes que se encienda su ira y perezcan en el camino, pues su ira se inflama de repente. ¡Dichosos los que en él buscan el refugio!

What the Fathers said

Passages from the Church Fathers that expound or quote this chapter, verbatim from the public-domain Schaff edition (19th-century English translations).

How these were chosen

“Commentary” is the opening of a homily or exposition on this chapter (John Chrysostom’s homilies, Augustine’s tractates, sermons and expositions of the Psalms). “Quotes” are sentences where the edition’s own footnotes identify a quotation of a verse here, kept only when the wording matches the verse. Only works whose authorship is not in doubt are used. Psalms follow the Hebrew/English numbering (Augustine numbers them as the Septuagint does: his Psalm 50 is Psalm 51 here).

  1. Commentary Augustine of Hippo, Expositions on the Psalms (Psalm II)

    (ver. 1). "The kings of the earth have stood up, and the rulers taken counsel together, against the Lord, and against His Christ" (ver. 2). It is said, "why?" as if it were said, in vain.

    … Christ are human beings, who from various and diverse nations come together into one cohort of faith, as the Father promised Him, saying, "Ask of Me, and I will give Thee the heathen for Thine inheritance, the uttermost parts of the earth for Thy possession."

    And the face of that pure speech appeared to me one and the same; and I learned to "rejoice with trembling."
