This Chapter Verse Commentaries:

25. ὁ τοῦ πατρὸς ἡμῶν διὰ πνεύματος ἁγίου στόματος Δαυεὶδ παιδός σου. This is the reading of אABE. The Vulg. in some degree confirms it, having ‘qui Spiritu sancto per os patris nostri David, pueri tui.’ But the reading is full of difficulty and there is probably some error. The Vulg. would seem to have had τοῦ πατρὸς ἡμῶν after στόματος, and, it may be, another διὰ preceding that word. Dr Hort suggests that τοῦ πατρὸς may be a corruption for τοῖς πατράσιν, and that στόματος &c. may be taken in apposition with what precedes, the mouth of David being represented as the mouth of the Holy Ghost.
