In Acts 13:33, we read about “the second Psalm.” Which Psalm is this? And which are the first and the last?
Let’s begin by reading the passage:
Acts 13:32–33 “And we bring you the good news that what God promised to the fathers, this He has fulfilled to us their children by raising Jesus, as also it is written in the second Psalm: ‘You are My Son, today I have begotten You.’”
In this passage, the Apostle Paul is referring to the Book of Psalms—specifically Psalm chapter 2, where we read:
Psalm 2:7 “I will declare the decree: The Lord has said to Me, ‘You are My Son, Today I have begotten You.’”
So, the simple meaning of “the second Psalm” mentioned in Acts 13:33 is Psalm chapter 2. That is where this prophecy is found.
In the same way:
We also see the writer of Hebrews quoting this same passage from the second Psalm:
Hebrews 1:5 “For to which of the angels did He ever say: ‘You are My Son, Today I have begotten You’? And again: ‘I will be to Him a Father, And He shall be to Me a Son’?”
And again in chapter 5:
Hebrews 5:5 “So also Christ did not glorify Himself to become High Priest, but it was He who said to Him: ‘You are My Son, Today I have begotten You.’”
Have you received Jesus? If not, what are you waiting for? These are the last days, and Jesus is coming soon.
May the Lord bless you.
