The kingdom of Christ10. Kings are exhorted to accept it I will proclaim the decree spoken to Me by the LORD: This phrase introduces a divine declaration, emphasizing the authority and importance of the message. In the context of ancient Israel, decrees were often associated with royal pronouncements or legal edicts, underscoring the solemnity and binding nature of what follows. The speaker, traditionally understood as the anointed king, is relaying a message directly from God, highlighting the intimate relationship between the divine and the king. This reflects the theocratic nature of Israel's monarchy, where the king was seen as God's representative on earth. You are My Son; today I have become Your Father. Persons / Places / Events 1. The LORD (Yahweh)The covenant name of God, who speaks the decree. 2. The Anointed (Messiah) The one to whom the decree is spoken, identified as God's Son. 3. David (Implied Author) Traditionally attributed as the author of the psalm, representing the kingly line. 4. Israel The nation over which the king reigns, representing God's chosen people. 5. Nations and Kings The earthly rulers and peoples who are in opposition to God's anointed.

Identity in Christ As believers, find our identity in Christ, the Son, and live as children of God, reflecting His character. Proclaiming the Decree Be bold in proclaiming the truth of Jesus' divine sonship and His role as the Savior and King.(7) I will declare.--The anointed king now speaks himself, recalling the covenant made with him by Jehovah at his coronation. I will tell.--Better, Let me speak concerning the appointment. The word rendered decree in 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 an ideal prince who 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 in New Testament Commentary, Note to Acts 13:33; Hebrews 1:5; Hebrews 5:5. For the king, spoken of as God's son, see Psalm 89:26-27, and comp. 2Samuel 7:14.) . . . Verse 7. - I will declare the decree. It is best to suppose that Messiah here takes the word, and maintains it to the end of ver. 9, when the psalmist resumes in his own person.

The Lord hath said unto me; rather, said unto me (see the Revised Version). It was said, once for all, at a distant date. Thou art my Son. Not "one of my sons,,' but "my Son;" i.e. my one Son, my only one - "my Son" κατ ἐξοχήν (comp. Psalm 89:27; Hebrews 1:5). This day have I begotten thee. If it be asked, "Which day?" the answer would seem to be, the day when Christ commenced his redemptive work: then the Father "committed all judgment" - "all dominion over creation" to the Son" (John 5:22), gave him, as it were, a new existence, a new sphere, the throne of the world, and of all that is or that ever will be, in it (see 'Speaker's Commentary,' ad loc.).Parallel Commentaries ...
