Translation note
The Hebrew of this verse is difficult. The ancient Greek translation says: “With you is the rule in the day of your power, in the splendors of the holy ones; from the womb, before the dawn, I begot you.”

2The rod of your strength YHWH will send from Zion: rule in the midst of your enemies.
