Two "begotten Sons" why has this been hidden?
Jn 1:18, "No man has seen God at any time, the only begotten Son, which is in the bosom of the Father, he hath declared him."
Ps 2:7, "I will declare the decree," YHWH said unto me, "Thou art my Son, this day I have begotten thee."

It was hidden because people always found it funny and would laugh out loud in church.

Because Psalm 2:7 is clearly has a meaning other than literal. Clearly, the person to whom the speaker (God, YHWH) in Psalm 2:7 is speaking cannot be someone who was begotten on the day that was spoken. Clearly, those words are intended to mean something other than literal.
The people hearing it did not believe that it was speaking of them (because they were not begotten on that day). The author did not believe that God was speaking of him.
Probably the passage is describing either
a - the nation of Israel
or
b - the Messiah
and - of course - b corresponds exactly with Christian doctrine that Jesus, the Messiah, is the only begotten son of God. In other words: from the Christian view, both passages are describing the very same "begotten son".

Ps 2:7, "I will declare the decree," YHWH said unto me, "Thou art my Son, this day I have begotten thee."
"This day" refers to the "moment" the statement is being made. In other words, one way to reword it would be: It is today that I am telling you about my only begotten Son who always existed in the bosom of the Father.
