To "kiss the Son" in Ps 2:12 is to adore and worship him. (See Da 3:5-6.) The word itself does not occur in Scripture.

To kiss the hand with the mouth in homage (Job 31:26-27. "If I beheld the sun when it shineth, or the moon, ... and my mouth hath kissed my hand".) The earliest idolatry, that of the sun, moon, and heavenly hosts (Hebrew tsaba), Sabeanism. Laying the hand on the mouth expresses deep reverence and submission (Job 40:4). So "kiss the Son," i.e. adore (Ps 2:12). Portrayed in the sculptures of Persepolis and Thebes. Falling down and worshipping prostrate was the worship subsequently paid to Babylonian idols (Da 3:5-6). In the sense of divine worship, it is due to God only, and was rejected by angels and saints when offered to them (Lu 4:8; Ac 10:25-26; Re 19:10; 22:9).
