Verse Takeaways

Christ is Called God
Commentators overwhelmingly see this verse as a powerful declaration of Jesus Christ's divinity. The psalmist directly addresses the Messianic king as 'O God' ('Elohim'). As the book of Hebrews confirms by quoting this verse (Hebrews 1:8), this is not just a lofty title for a human king but a clear statement about the divine nature of the Son, who is worthy of worship.
