"In that day it shall be said to Jerusalem, Fear thou not: and to Zion, Let not thine hands be slack," he wrote.

The grinning grandpa also shared a photo of himself holding his newborn grandchild for the first time.

"JAH BLESSINGS 'WE GIVE THANKS FOR LIFE Welcome to Earth Little ZEPHANIAH NESTA," Marley wrote.

Marley continued the stream of photos by sharing a close-up of the week-old baby with his hand pressed against his cheek.

"Live in color 'Sir Zephaniah Nesta Marley,' Stone Cold Chillin," he wrote.

New father Zion is the oldest of Hill and Marley's five children alongside younger siblings Sarah, Selah, John, and Joshua.
