    Hello Mervis,

    My thoughts on this verse is that to "Kiss the Son" (referred her to the Son of God and Anointed On-Messiah) is to worship him and submit to Him. In O.T. times the pagans around the Israelites kissed their idols as an act of worship. See 2 Kings 19:18.

    Also, kissing a king, prince, or other dignitary was a sign of respect and honor with the kisser often kissing the hand or feet of the dignitary who was seen as more honored than the one kissing.

    Also, in Scripture, kissing was a sign of deep love, as with Joseph kissing each of his brothers when he revealed to them who he was in Genesis 31:28 or Paul instruction us to greet one another with the holy kiss in Romans 16:16 and elsewhere.

    In this Psalm, kings and rulers are instructed to Kiss the Son, (the Anointed One, Messiah, King, Son of God). So, I think it means that these officials were rebellious towards God and are being asked to repent and turn back to God by submitting and worshipping the King of the World, Jesus Christ.
