Psalms 2:5 - Ellicott's Commentary On The Whole Bible

Bible Comments

Then. — An emphatic particle, marking the climax; possibly equal to “Lo! behold.” The grand roll of the words in the original is like the roll of the thunder, and is rendered more effective by its contrast with the quiet manner of Psalms 2:4.

And vex them. — Literally, and greatly (the verb is in the intensive conjugation) terrify them in his nostrils and in his heat.

Psalms 2:5

5 Then shall he speak unto them in his wrath, and vexb them in his sore displeasure.
