Psalm 2:5-7

Easy-to-Read Version

⁵He speaks to them in anger,
and it fills them with fear.
⁶He says, “I have chosen this man to be king,
and he will rule on Zion, my holy mountain.”

⁷Let me tell you about the Lord’s agreement:
He said to me, “Today I have become your father,^[a]
and you are my son.

Psalm 2:7 I have become your father Literally, “I fathered you.” Originally, this probably meant God was “adopting” the king as his son.
