Ellicott's Commentary for English Readers - Psalms 8:1

(1) O Lord our Lord.—Jehovah our Lord. For the first time in the Book of Psalms the personal feeling is consciously lost sight of in a larger, a national, or possibly human feeling. The poet recognises God’s relation to the whole of mankind as to the whole material creation. Thus the hymn appropriately lent itself to the use of the congregation in public worship, though it does not follow that this was the object of its composition.Excellent.—The LXX. and Vulg., “wonderful.” Better, great or... read more

Ellicott's Commentary for English Readers - Psalms 8:2

(2) Babes and sucklings.—Better, young children and sucklings. A regular phrase to describe children from one to three years old (1 Samuel 15:3; 1 Samuel 22:19). The yonek, or suckling, denotes an earlier stage of the nursing period (which, with Hebrew mothers, sometimes extended over three years, 2Ma. 7:27, and on Talmudic authority could not be less than two years) than the ôlel, which is applied to children able to play about on the streets (Jeremiah 9:21; Lamentations 4:4). (See Dr.... read more

Expositor's Dictionary of Texts - Psalms 8:1-9

Considering Psalms 8:3 'When I consider' I become a new man, much larger, nobler, saintlier. What does consider mean? It is two words, it is two Latin words; it is con or cum , with, together sider what is there in the word sider ? Nothing. Take care! Sider comes a long way up the track of language; it was born sidus . That is what you say when you write your married name; under it you put née, born another name, your father's name, which you have relinquished in favour of another name.... read more

Expositor's Bible Commentary - Psalms 8:1-9

Psalms 8:1-9THE exclamation which begins and ends this psalm, enclosing it as a jewel in a setting, determines its theme as being neither the nightly heaven with all its stars, nor the dignity of man, but the name of the Lord as proclaimed by both. The Biblical contemplation of nature and man starts from and ends in God. The main thought of the psalm is the superiority of the revelation in man’s nature and place to that in the vault of heaven. The very smallness of man makes the revelation of... read more

Psalms 8:0 The Son of Man: All Things Put Under His Feet 1. A little lower than the angels; crowned with glory (Psalms 8:1-5 ) 2. All things put under Him (Psalms 8:6-8 ) 3. How excellent is Thy Name over all the earth (Psalms 8:9 ) Psalms 8:1-5 . In this Psalm we behold Christ again, and here as Son of Man. Three times this Psalm is quoted in the New Testament; in Matthew 21:16 , 1 Corinthians 15:27 and Hebrews 2:6-9 . The latter passage shows clearly who the Son of Man is who was made... read more

8:2 Out of the mouth {a} of babes and sucklings hast thou ordained strength because of thine enemies, that thou mightest still the enemy and the avenger.(a) Though the wicked would hide God’s praises, yet the very babes are sufficient witnesses of the same. read more

James Gray

James Gray's Concise Bible Commentary - Psalms 8:1-9

The length of our lessons in this book are determined rather arbitrarily by the length of the different psalms, or the special interest found in them. We have in mind weekly classes wishing to study the whole Bible in a connected way, and yet avoid tediousness in the process. The six psalms included in the last lesson might easily be read by the class in a week; and on the Lord’s Day, the teacher with the assistance of the questions, would have little difficulty in fastening the facts and their... read more

The People's Bible by Joseph Parker - Psalms 8:1-9

Psalms 8:0 [Note. One critic has called this a lyric echo of the first chapter of Genesis. The best critics do not doubt the Davidic authorship. The word "Gittith" in the title is rendered by the LXX. and Vulgate "for the winepresses." Another derivation makes it a kind of flute. Other critics think that the most probable explanation connects it with Gath, the Philistine town. According to a Talmudic paraphrase, "upon Gittith" should be read, "on the kinnor which was brought from Gath," thus... read more

Hawker's Poor Man's Commentary - Psalms 8:1

CONTENTS This Psalm is pure gospel from beginning to end, for it celebrates the glories of Jesus, as the Monarch of his people, and of heaven and earth. Under the spirit of prophecy, and with an eye to Christ, the sacred writer of it expresseth his astonishment at the incarnation of Jesus, and then soars in the loftiest strains of adoration and joy at his wonderful glory. To the chief Musician upon Gittith. A Psalm of David. Some have conjectured that Gittith means the tune to which this Psalm... read more

Hawker's Poor Man's Commentary - Psalms 8:2

The best of all comments on this blessed verse is what Jesus himself hath given, Matthew 21:15-16 . And as in the person of our glorious Head, so in the instance of all his redeemed, how is the praise of Jehovah perfected, when babes in Christ are brought out of the kingdom of darkness into the kingdom of God's dear Son? How is the accursed enemy and the avenger overthrown and discomfited in the instance of every poor sinner made willing in the day of God's power. Here surely the prey is taken... read more
