Sermon Bible Commentary - Psalms 8:4

Psalms 8:4 I. The thought which lies behind this text is of far deeper intensity now than when it was first uttered by the awe-stricken Psalmist. The author of this eighth Psalm could have had but a faint conception of the scale of creation compared with that at which we are now arriving. What is man in presence of the overwhelming display of creative power? II. But there is another consideration which helps to impress the thought of our insignificance. We cannot but speculate as to the ends... read more

Sermon Bible Commentary - Psalms 8:4-5

Psalms 8:4-5 Man stands on the frontier of two worlds. There is a supernatural sphere, and man's connection with it is his glory, his endowments from it his highest treasures. "Made a little lower than the angels, crowned with glory and honour." I. What then is that connection? Can the supernatural world unfold itself before man? The answer is, Most certainly it can. (1) God has laid bare to man the splendid vision by prophecy. Prophecy is God's revelation by word. Wherever any spiritual truth... read more

Sermon Bible Commentary - Psalms 8:6

Psalms 8:6 This Psalm is stamped with a worldwide breadth; it is of no nation; it is of all time; it shines with a light transcending that of mere human genius. We are brought face to face with these three: nature, man, God. I. Look, first, at the text in the light of Old Testament Scripture. It is quite plain that here is no description drawn from nature. All things are not put under man. He does not reign over nature; he wrestles with nature; step by step he gains upon nature, and subdues it... read more

Scofield's Reference Notes - Psalms 8:5

For thou hast made him a little lower than the angels In Psalms 2:0. Christ was presented as Jehovah's Son and King, rejected and crucified but yet to reign in Zion. In Psa 8., while His deity is fully recognized (Psalms 8:1), Psalms 110:0 with Matthew 22:41-46 He is seen as Son of man Psalms 8:4-6 who, "made for a little while lower than the angels, " is to have dominion over the redeemed creation Hebrews 2:6-11. The authority here is racial and Adamic, rather than purely divine as in Psa 2.,... read more

Chuck Smith Bible Commentary - Psalms 8:1-9

Psalms 8:1-9 is to the chief musician upon Gittith. Now Gittith means wine press, and so you have the thought of the harvest in the sense, actually, of judgment. The time of harvest has come.O LORD, our Lord, how excellent is thy name in all the earth! ( Psalms 8:1 )The first Lord, all capital letters, signifying that it is a translation of the Hebrew name for God. That name which we do not know exactly how to pronounce. Perhaps it is Yahweh; perhaps it is Jehovah. Nobody really knows for sure.... read more

Sutcliffe's Commentary on the Old and New Testaments - Psalms 8:1-9

Psalms 8:1 . How excellent is thy name. See note on Proverbs 18:10. Psalms 8:2 . Thou hast ordained strength. For some reason the LXX read αινον , praise. So our Saviour, it would seem, cited this text, Matthew 21:16, when the children sung hosannas to him in the temple. Perhaps David made this psalm presently after his anointing, and when keeping his father’s flock by night, where he had the fairest opportunity for the study of astronomy. Psalms 8:4 . What is man. Hebrews Enosh,... read more

Psalms 8:1-9How excellent is Thy name in all the earth! David’s poetical sensitivenessIn all probability this Psalm is the first, or at all events one of the very first, David ever wrote.It breathes the spirit of those lonely nights which he must so often have passed keeping watch over his father’s sheep on the wild hills of Bethlehem. To a lad of his strong poetical temperament, the glory of the Syrian sunset, the gradual assembling of the stars, as of an innumerable flock in the silent... read more

Psalms 8:3-4When I consider Thy heavens.ConsideringThat is what people will not do. They are thoughtless, superficial, frivolous; they do not sit down and put things together and add them up, and ask the meaning of the poetry of the total.1. “When I consider”--I become a new man, much larger, nobler, saintlier. What does consider mean? I wonder if any six men in any audience could tell the meaning, etymological and historical and parabolical, of consider. It is a word which everybody knows. It... read more

Psalms 8:5For Thou hast made him a little lower than the angels.Man a little lower than the angelsWhile the Psalmist refers primarily to man, we learn from St. Paul that the text has a further reference to the Lord Jesus Christ.I. The text, as spoken of men. Perhaps it was not so much in nature as in position that man, as first formed, was inferior to the angels. Nothing higher could be affirmed of the angels than that they were made in the image of God. If, then, they had originally... read more

Psalms 8:6Thou madest him to have dominion.Man’s dominionDominion is a far-reaching word. We have not yet thrown our measuring line upon it, and realised all its suggestions and inspiration. Is there not a stirring sometimes in the heart, which means: I was meant to be a king; I was meant to be master; I was meant to exercise dominion--dominion over the enticements of matter; it was intended that I should be able to say to the most fascinating spectacles that could appeal to me--Stand back! Man... read more
