Abstract
The rhetorical argumentation strategies of Psalm 2 as a political-cultic poem are explored in order to highlight the function of these strategies, the exigency and the audience of the initial rhetorical situation. During the creation process of the psalm, the rhetor must have been influenced by the royal court or the king himself, reflecting aspects of the evolutionary process which the Zion theology went through. The rhetor's creation was to be implemented lively during the inauguration ceremony of the Judean king as rhetorical action during which the king (as new rhetor), the world rulers and nations (as universal audience), the Judean audience present at the political-cultic ceremony, as well as Yahweh were engaged in collaborative rhetorical action.

Summary
Psalm 2 is een van die psalms van die Ou Testament waarin die werelde van politiek en godsdiens mekaar volledig ontmoet. Die psalm word gewoonlik onder die "koningspsalms" geklassifiseer wat tydens 'n inhuldigingseremonie van 'n Judese koning gebruik is. Hierdie studie het ten doel om 'n moontlike retoriese situasie van die psalm te rekonstrueer na aanleiding van die argumentasie wat die psalmdigter gebruik het. Hierbenewens word ook vanuit 'n polities-godsdienstige oogpunt vrae gevra oor dit wat moontlik tot die kulties-politieke retoriek in die inhuldigingspsalm aanleiding gegee het. In wat hier volg word gepoog om moontlike antwoorde op die volgende vrae rondom Psalm 2 te kry: a) Watter retoriese strategiee word deur die retor in die psalm gebruik? B) Wat is die retoriese doel of funksie van die outeur met hierdie strategiee? C) Wat is die behoefte of probleem van die retoriese situasie? D) Watter moontlike oorspronklike retoriese situasie kan met behulp van die ondersoek gerekonstrueer word In wat hier volg word gepoog om moontlike antwoorde op die volgende vrae rondom Psalm 2 te kry: a) Watter retoriese strategiee word deur die retor in die psalm gebruik? b) Wat is die retoriese doel of funksie van die outeur met hierdie strategiee? c) Wat is die behoefte of probleem van die retoriese situasie? d) Watter moontlike oorspronklike retoriese situasie kan met behulp van die ondersoek gerekonstrueer word
