S – “I have installed my king on Zion, my holy mountain.”
7 I will declare the Lord’s decree. He said to me, “You are my Son;
today I have become your Father.
Psalms 2:6–7 CSB
O – Commentary:
my son (or Son). Today I have become your Father (or Today I reveal you as my son): 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). All descendants of David were the Lord’s representatives or agents. As an eternal member of the Godhead (John 1:1) and a descendant of David (Acts 13:33; Heb 1:5; 5:5), Jesus is the true Son of God.
New Living Translation Study Bible
A—God affirms his covenant with David that his lineage will be “as sons” to him. This also perpetuates his plan of the Messiah coming through the line of David to save the world. Jesus uses this verse to affirm who He is when he was before religious leaders. This statement spans hundreds of years and works together to accomplish God’s plans.
