2:6“I myself19 have installed20 my king
on Zion, my holy hill.”
2:7The king says,21 “I will announce the Lord’s decree. He said to me:22
‘You are my son!23 This very day I have become your father!
2:8Ask me,
and I will give you the nations as your inheritance,24
the ends of the earth as your personal property.
Footnotes
- 19 The first person pronoun appears before the first person verbal form for emphasis, reflected in the translation by “myself.”
- 20 Or perhaps “consecrated.”
- 21 The words “the king says” are supplied in the translation for clarification. The speaker is the Lord’s chosen king.
- 22 Or “I will relate the decree. The Lord said to me” (in accordance with the Masoretic accentuation).
- 23 ‘You are my son!’ The Davidic king was viewed as God’s “son” (see 2 Sam 7:14; Ps 89:26–27). The idiom reflects ancient Near Eastern adoption language associated with covenants of grant, by which a lord would reward a faithful subject by elevating him to special status, referred to as “sonship.” Like a son, the faithful subject received an “inheritance,” viewed as an unconditional, eternal gift. Such gifts usually took the form of land and/or an enduring dynasty. See M. Weinfeld, “The Covenant of Grant in the Old Testament and in the Ancient Near East,” 90 (1970): 184–203, for general discussion and some striking extra-biblical parallels.
- 24 I will give you the nations. The Lord promises the Davidic king universal dominion.
