Psalms 2:6-7
2:6 a my chosen king: The Lord establishes his anointed ruler.Summary for Ps 2:7-9: 2:7-9 b The Lord adopted the king of David’s dynasty to conquer rebellious nations by force (see 89:26-27 c). 2:7 d Today I have become your Father: People in the ancient Near East commonly accepted a father-son relationship between gods and kings. In Israel, the Lord adopted kings as his sons. God set David apart as his most excellent and exalted son (89:27 e). All descendants of David were the Lord’s representatives or agents. As an eternal member of the Godhead (John 1:1 f) and a descendant of David (Acts 13:33 g; Heb 1:5 h; 5:5 i), Jesus is the true Son of God.
