## Text
1:5: γὰρ εἶπέν ποτε τῶν ἀγγέλων·
> υἱός μου εἶ σύ,
> ἐγὼ σήμερον γεγέννηκά σε; καὶ πάλιν·
> ἐγὼ ἔσομαι αὐτῷ εἰς πατέρα,
> καὶ αὐτὸς ἔσται μοι εἰς υἱόν;
### Psalm 2
1 Ἵνα τί ἐφρύαξαν ἔθνη
καὶ λαοὶ ἐμελέτησαν κενά;
2 παρέστησαν οἱ βασιλεῖς τῆς γῆς,
καὶ οἱ ἄρχοντες συνήχθησαν ἐπὶ τὸ αὐτὸ
κατὰ τοῦ κυρίου καὶ κατὰ τοῦ χριστοῦ αὐτοῦ
διάψαλμα
3 Διαρρήξωμεν τοὺς δεσμοὺς αὐτῶν
καὶ ἀπορρίψωμεν ἀφ᾿ ἡμῶν τὸν ζυγὸν αὐτῶν.
4 ὁ κατοικῶν ἐν οὐρανοῖς ἐκγελάσεται αὐτούς,
καὶ ὁ κύριος ἐκμυκτηριεῖ αὐτούς.
5 τότε λαλήσει πρὸς αὐτοὺς ἐν ὀργῇ αὐτοῦ
καὶ ἐν τῷ θυμῷ αὐτοῦ ταράξει αὐτούς
6 Ἐγὼ δὲ κατεστάθην βασιλεὺς ὑπ᾿ αὐτοῦ
ἐπὶ Σιων ὄρος τὸ ἅγιον αὐτοῦ
7 διαγγέλλων τὸ πρόσταγμα κυρίου
Κύριος εἶπεν πρός με Υἱός μου εἶ σύ, ἐγὼ σήμερον γεγέννηκά σε·
8 αἴτησαι παρ᾿ ἐμοῦ, καὶ δώσω σοι ἔθνη τὴν κληρονομίαν σου
καὶ τὴν κατάσχεσίν σου τὰ πέρατα τῆς γῆς·
9 ποιμανεῖς αὐτοὺς ἐν ῥάβδῳ σιδηρᾷ,
ὡς σκεῦος κεραμέως συντρίψεις αὐτούς.
10 καὶ νῦν, βασιλεῖς, σύνετε·
παιδεύθητε, πάντες οἱ κρίνοντες τὴν γῆν.
11 δουλεύσατε τῷ κυρίῳ ἐν φόβῳ
καὶ ἀγαλλιᾶσθε αὐτῷ ἐν τρόμῳ.
12 δράξασθε παιδείας, μήποτε ὀργισθῇ κύριος
καὶ ἀπολεῖσθε ἐξ ὁδοῦ δικαίας.
ὅταν ἐκκαυθῇ ἐν τάχει ὁ θυμὸς αὐτοῦ,
μακάριοι πάντες οἱ πεποιθότες ἐπ᾿ αὐτῷ.
## Observations and Analysis
### verses 1-6
- AV: We observed that this condition of willful rebellion, κατὰ τοῦ κυρίου καὶ κατὰ τοῦ χριστοῦ αὐτοῦ, has been perennial: Babel, the Enlightenment, the French Revolution, now.
- AV: We noted the start contrast between those violently and angrily thrashing about (Διαρρήξωμεν and ἀπορρίψωμεν), and ὁ κατοικῶν ἐν οὐρανοῖς, sitting in perfect peaceful repose, in no way alarmed or threatened.
### verses 7-12
- AV: I remember Bruce Waltke observing that the Nicene Fathers' use of vs.7 in [the Nicene Creed](http://gknt.org/greek/the-nicene-creed/) (cited below) as a prooftext for the eternal generation of the Son was good practical theology, in response to Arianism, but not really great biblical theology. It has been said that in general the fathers are to be more emulated for their faith and life, than for their hermeneutics.
> τὸν ἐκ τοῦ Πατρὸς **γεννηθέντα** πρὸ πάντων τῶν αἰώνων,
> Φῶς ἐκ Φωτός,
> Θεὸν ἀληθινὸν ἐκ Θεοῦ ἀληθινοῦ,
> γεννηθέντα οὐ ποιηθέντα,
> ὁμοούσιον τῷ Πατρί,
