Coffman Commentaries on the Bible - Psalms 8:3

"When I consider the heavens, the work of thy fingers,The moon, and the stars, which thou hast ordained;What is man that thou art mindful of him?And the son of man, that thou visitest him?""The work of thy fingers." The use of "fingers" here instead of hands, which we might have expected, suggests that it was no great difficulty whatever for God to have created the heavens and the earth and everything within them. God merely spoke the Word; and it was done!"The moon, and the stars." These words... read more

Coffman Commentaries on the Bible - Psalms 8:5

"For thou has made him but little lower than God,And crowned him with glory and honor.Thou makest him to have dominion over the works of thy hands;Thou hast put all things under his feet:""A little lower than God." We mention what we considered errors in the English Revised Version (1885) and American Standard Version renditions of the first verse; but here we must confess the superiority of those later versions over older renditions. Those older translations were unduly influenced by the... read more

Thomas Coke Commentary on the Holy Bible - Psalms 8:4

Psalms 8:4. What is man—and the son of man?— Bishop Patrick, in his preface to the Paraphrase on the Psalms, has made a remark which we here subjoin, as it gives light to this, and several other passages of Scripture: "The son of man, and the sons of men, (says he,) are phrases which often occur, and which in Scripture-language seem to belong to princes, and sometimes the greatest of princes; see Psa 80:17 where it signifies Hezekiah; Psa 146:2 where it signifies any prince, however great in... read more

Thomas Coke Commentary on the Holy Bible - Psalms 8:5

Psalms 8:5. Thou hast made him a little lower than the angels— Him, that is, the Son of Man, spoken of in the preceding verse. This, as well as the following verse, is applied by the apostle to the Hebrews to our Saviour, chap. Psa 2:7 where we shall enlarge upon it: see also 1 Corinthians 15:27. Instead of a little lower, &c. some would render the Hebrew word, מעט meat, for a little time lower than the angels: for, say they, as it is Jesus Christ who is here treated of, and as the words... read more

Thomas Coke Commentary on the Holy Bible - Psalms 8:6

Psalms 8:6. Thou madest him to have dominion— As these words, and those which follow, are not here spoken of man, till after it is said that God had abased and humbled him; and man having not been established king and ruler of the world, after having degraded himself by his sin, but, on the contrary, having then lost all the right which before this he had over the other creatures; the advancement here spoken of can have no relation to him. Besides, under these general terms, the works of his... read more
