You are My Son;
This phrase is central to the understanding of the king's relationship with God. In the ancient Near Eastern context, kings were often considered sons of gods, but in Israel, this was uniquely tied to the covenant relationship with Yahweh. The term "Son" signifies a special status, indicating both a position of favor and a role as a representative of God's authority. This phrase is also seen as a messianic prophecy, pointing to Jesus Christ, who is recognized in the New Testament as the Son of God, fulfilling this declaration in a fuller sense (Matthew 3:17,Hebrews 1:5).

today I have become Your Father.
The word "today" signifies a specific moment of divine action or recognition. In the historical context, this could refer to the day of the king's coronation, when he is publicly acknowledged as God's chosen ruler. The phrase "I have become Your Father" indicates a formal establishment of the relationship, akin to adoption, where the king is granted the rights and responsibilities of a son. In the New Testament, this is seen as a reference to the resurrection of Jesus, where He is declared the Son of God with power (Acts 13:33,Romans 1:4), marking a new phase in the divine plan of salvation.

• The speaker—David’s royal heir—steps forward to announce an unalterable decision of heaven, not a private opinion (Isaiah 46:10;Acts 2:23).

• By saying “I will proclaim,” He embraces His role as herald of the Father’s plan, just as Jesus later declared, “For I have not spoken on My own; but the Father who sent Me has commanded Me what to say” (John 12:49).

• The public nature of this proclamation points to the gospel itself: good news meant to be heard (Luke 4:18;Romans 10:17).

• The initiative is entirely God’s. The Son repeats, word for word, what the LORD has said, mirroring the obedience highlighted inJohn 5:19 andDeuteronomy 18:18.

• This stresses the trustworthiness of the message; divine revelation cannot lie (Titus 1:2;2 Peter 1:21).

•Acts 4:25 confirms thatPsalm 2 was given “through the mouth of Your servant David,” yet ultimately authored by the Holy Spirit.

• Here the Father openly affirms the unique, eternal relationship He enjoys with the Messiah (John 1:34;Matthew 3:17).

• The promise to David—“I will be his father, and he will be My son” (2 Samuel 7:14)—finds complete fulfillment in Christ (Hebrews 1:5).

• This Sonship is not honorary but essential; He shares the Father’s nature and authority (Colossians 1:15-17;John 5:22-23).

• “Today” marks a definite moment in history when the Father publicly installed the Son as King. The New Testament links this “today” with the resurrection: “He raised up Jesus... as it is written in the second Psalm: ‘You are My Son; today I have become Your Father’” (Acts 13:32-33).

• The resurrection vindicated Jesus, declaring Him “the Son of God in power” (Romans 1:4).

• Enthronement language also looks forward to His return when every knee will bow (Philippians 2:9-11;Revelation 19:16).

Psalm 2:7 unfolds a royal decree from the Father to the Messiah. The Son gladly publishes what the Lord Himself has spoken. The Father affirms, “You are My Son,” revealing an eternal, intimate relationship, and “today I have become Your Father,” pinpointing the historic moment when the risen Christ was openly installed as sovereign King. The verse, echoed repeatedly in the New Testament, anchors our confidence that Jesus is God’s appointed, resurrected, reigning Son whose rule will never fail.

I will tell.--Better,Let me speak concerning the appointment.The word rendereddecreein our version is derived from a root meaning to engrave, and so stands for any formal agreement, but it is usually an ordinance clearly announced by a prophet or some other commissioned interpreter of the Divine will, and consecrated and legalised by mutual adoption by king and people.

The Lord hath.--Better,Jehovah said unto me:that is, at that particular time, the day which the great event made the new birthday, as it were, of the monarch, or perhaps of the monarchy. From the particular prince, of whose career, if we could identify him with certainty, this would be the noblest historical memorial, the Psalmist--if, indeed, any one historic personage was in his thought at all--let his thoughts and hopes range, as we certainly may, on to a larger and higher fulfilment. The figure of anideal princewho was always about to appear, but was never realised in any actual successor on the throne, may possibly, by the time of this psalm, have assumed its great place in the nation's prophetic hopes. Certainly the whole line of tradition claims the passage in a Messianic sense. (See Note,Psalm 2:2; and inNew Testament Commentary,Note toActs 13:33;Hebrews 1:5;Hebrews 5:5. For the king, spoken of asGod's son,seePsalm 89:26-27, and comp.2Samuel 7:14.) . . .
