The Mystery of the God-Man
Commentators overwhelmingly see this verse as a powerful description of Jesus Christ's dual nature. The same person who is called 'God' (in verse 6) is here being anointed by 'thy God.' This highlights the mystery of Christ as the God-man: fully divine, yet in His human role as Mediator, He relates to the Father as His God.
