It states “Serve the lord with reverence, rejoice in him with fear.” The God is Psalms 2 is to be feared. It projects the idea that if you don’t follow these particular guidelines, then there will be consequences. The verse states “Aske thou of me, and will give.” It represents a form of answer and request. It also sets up a hierarchal relationship between God and humans. In the translation by Alter, God is presented as a generous person. Part of the verse references God giving his son or estate.
