The Quran is not a true book and it is like the catholic bible also which does not want people to know the true god and Jesus Christ His Son who came to earth to die fr our sins so that we can have eternal life for free. It was by grace that we are saved.

Say (O Muhammad (Peace be upon him)): "He is Allâh (SWT), (the) One. The Self-Sufficient Master, (Whom all creatures need, He neither eats nor drinks) He begets not, nor was He begotten. And there is none co-equal or comparable unto Him. (Quran Chapter 112)
2. He is the Merciful and the Compassionate, the Guardian and the True Guide, the Just and the Supreme Lord, the Creator and the Watchful, the First and the Last, the Knowing and the Wise, the Hearing, and the Aware, the Witness and the Glorious, the Able and ' the Powerful. (Holy Quran).
3. He is the Loving and the Provider, the Generous and the Benevolent, the Rich and the Independent, the Forgiving and the Clement, the Patient and the Appreciative, the Unique and the Protector, the Judge and the Peace. (Holy Quran example). The question of Allah's (SWT) 'God' existence has preoccupied men's minds for many centuries. Those who believe in Allah (SWT) 'God' seem to agree that the limited finite human intelligence cannot prove the existence of the infinite boundless of Allah (SWT) 'God'. It can only illustrate or demonstrate his existence to the satisfaction of the curious human mind.
Those who deny Allah's (SWT) 'God' claim to rely on science, philosophy, or special theories of knowledge. Their arguments are sometimes inapplicable, sometimes irrelevant, always complex, and often incomprehensible. However, the developed mind will find its way to Allah (SWT) 'God'. Failure to find the way does not mean that there is no way. Denial of reality does not make it unreal.

First off, I am not a Muslim (am not an adherent of any one path, for that matter) but have studied Islam. To all the Muslims who read this, if I misremember something in my answer I am very sorry.
Now, to you, my friend. First off, the Psalms which you quote, were proabably written around 1000 years before Muhammad received the revelations known as the Qur'an, not the Kuran.
Second, even the books of the New Testament, the basis of Christ's teachings, were not likely written until 100 CE. And the Qur'an claims that it supercedes all books before it, that parts of previous books (Torah, Gospels, etc) have been, sadly, corrupted over time. Only that which is not contradicted by the Qur'an is still valid in the Bible, according to Islam.
And third, Muslims do revere Christ/Jesus. In Islam his known as Isa and is an extremely important Prophet, especially since he was the last Prophet before Muhammad, although he is not seen as "divine" since only God is divine. Muslims believe in the undividable oneness of God (Tawheed). Thus, Muhammad, Jesus, Abraham, etc, are not worshipped but are merely seen as examples of the potential of man under the guidance of God. And, unfortunately, it is not well known among many Christians, that Muslims love Jesus, much as they do. Muslims even believe in the Virgin Birth of Christ from Mary. I direct you to Sura (chapter) 3, ayat (literally "sign," as in from God, commonly seen as a verse) 45 which reads: "Behold! the angels said: "O Mary! Allah giveth thee glad tidings of a Word from Him: his name will be Christ Jesus, the son of Mary, held in honour in this world and the Hereafter and of (the company of) those nearest to Allah" (3:45). This is just one of numerous "verses" praising Jesus' holiness.
And last, in Islam, as much as an individual may love Muhammad, Jesus or any other prophet, they do not believe God has a son. God is infinite, eternal; he is that from which ALL comes and to which ALL return. A beautiful example of this is the last few verses of Ya Seen, the 36th chapter of the Qur'an, often called the "heart of the Qur'an": "Therefore glory be to Him in Whose hand is the kingdom of all things, and to Him you shall be brought back."
In Islam, Jesus nor Muhammad, nor indeed anyone can be responsible for an individual's salvation. Only the individual themself can decide their fate. Responsibility is on YOUR shoulders, not on Christ's or anyone elses.
And in closing, let's not focus on the differences between religions, but see the greater truth: that there is something more immense and powerful than any of us will ever understand even though it flows through all of us, indeed through everything, every second of our lives. Personally, I believe in the power of Jesus' teachings, when they are not corrupted; I also am shaken by the truth that can be found in Hindu (read the Upanishads) and Buddhist (read the Dhammapada) texts; and there are lines in the Qur'an that do definitely sound as if they were from the mouth of the supreme power that IS the Universe. Spirtually, I have found a book titled "101 Diamonds from the Oral Tradition of the Glorious Messenger Muhammad" (a collection of hadith) most helpful. Whenever I doubt the majesty of the Universe I open that book at random and find some wisdom and comfort in it.
Hope I helped you with your question a bit (and I hope you weren't just trying to start a petty debate of Jesus vs Muhammad). May we all find what we are looking for. Peace!
(Oh, and to Cheir up there, the Bible was mostly written in HEBREW, NOT GREEK. Only the New Testament was written in Koine Greek; NONE of it was written in Latin, but was later translated into Latin, which is not the same thing at all. And everyone relax and stop taking everything so literally. What you believe is what you believe. Just because some old books say something does not mean that they true. Think a little bit people, don't just take a books word for it. "Well, the Bible said so, so that's right." Nice logic.)

If you have read the bible and believe it then you should know the answer. In Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John, it is written that God did have a Son. His Son was Jesus Christ.

Christ Jesus is for Muslims the Messiah. As such, that is what Christians mean by the "second person of the Trinity." God is One, hence, e.g. Rabbi Ezekial, Christ Jesus, and Prophet Mohammad (owbp) are all part of, individuations of, God, which is All, and greater, than any creature, even the "Son."
God does not have "flesh and blood" sons and daughters, as flesh and blood do not inherit the Kingdom.
Some Muslim theologians understand this superficial conflict, and call themselves "Christians" as well, meaning, those who "let this Mind abide in you, which was also in Christ Jesus."
There are a lot of people who simply do not understand what it means when Saint John states, "Beloved, now are we the Sons of God"--it means, those who have the Christ Mind, as Saint Paul taught and demonstrated.
There are types of idolatry in Christianity, including calling Jesus "good master," not understanding the full import of the usage of the Name of God, "I Am," as reiterated by Jesus in "I Am the Way," etc. There are types of error in Islam, including not understanding why Mohammad called Jesus "brother;" Mohammad in this usage is as much a "Son of God" as Saint John the Beloved.

We believe Davids Psalm as Quran told us but before him Job told a different things so we were confused. We believed Quran and also asked Jesus for this, so he denied. Read what Job said and confused about sons:
6) Now there was a day when the sons of God came to present themselves before the Lord, and Satan also came among them.
7) And the Lord said to Satan, "From where do you come?" So Satan Answered the Lord and said, "From going to and fro on earth, and from walking back and forth on it."
8) Then the Lord said to Satan, "Have you considered My servant Job, that there is none like him on earth, a blameless and upright man, one who fears God and shuns evil?"
9) So Satan answered the Lord and said, "Does Job fear God for nothing? ….. (Bible: Job.6-..)
Then after reading Quran I also asked Jesus he replied:
29 Jesus answered him, "The first of all the commandments is: 'Hear, O Israel, the Lord our God, the Lord is one.
37 Jesus said to him, "You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart, with all your soul, and with your entire mind.(Bible; Mark 12:29 & Mathew 22:37)
Then we confirmed about his being part of god-head but he replied:
19 So Jesus said to him, "Why do you call Me good? No one is good but One, that is God.
20) "You know the commandments: Do not commit adultery,' 'Do not murder,' 'Do not steal, ' 'Do not bear false witness,''Honor you father and your Mother.'" (Bible; Luke 18:19-20)
What to do? Follow Quran

From the Holy Qur'an-
Surah 112. Al-Ikhlas (The Unity, Sincerity, Oneness Of Allah)
1. Say: He is Allah, the One and Only;
2. Allah, the Eternal, Absolute;
3. He begetteth not, nor is He begotten;
4. And there is none like unto Him.

Hhh.... sun or son...
define a son mean. Word playing is often confusing right
Torah, Zabur and Injeel are 3 different books.
I believe those books tell about monotheism, don't you.
Jews worship One G-d, Ya Hu Wa
Some Christians worship Jesus, Spirit, and G-d
Muslim worship One G-d, Ya Hu Wa

Bible was written in Arabic? Good grief - where do they get their info. from? The original writings contributing to the Bible (over 5000) were mostly in Greek and some in Latin.

The Almighty has no need for daughters, much less sons. It is beneath His Dignity and Majesty to be like His creation. Being The Creator, He is supposed to be above all of His creation.
