The passage in Psalms says nothing about "before all ages, etc," but rather the opposite. It says, "I will declare the decree: the LORD hath said unto me, Thou art my Son; this day have I begotten thee." Protestants don't use the oldest OT (Septuagint) but the Hebrew Masoretic Text (10th century copy found in Moscow's Synagogue). The MT has removed all references to anything that might support Christian teaching. The Septuagint, which originated two hundred years BEFORE Christ had no reason to alter any of the passages. Incidentally, the MT also removed the "virgin" in Eisaiah (Isaiah) for the same reason.
Luther,in his insanity decided that MT was the better OT and thus WE DO NOT USE THE SAME BIBLE! There is nothing more futile than debating Bible quotes with protestants when we don't use the same Scripture.
