This is epitomized in the glorification of Christ, depicted above. ] SPECIAL NOTE: [ I will again be working through the Scriptures from Genesis to Revelation. I will be adding links, resources, images, and the like, upgrading the former work-through which began with the 2013-10-12 posting which can be found, along with the full Genesis to Revelation postings, in the Archive Page. Postings will be at midnight Eastern Time, as I am able. However, no chapters will be skipped, even though a posting may be late. And all postings will be housed in the Archive Page. ] Explanation: In Psalm 8, David praises the excellency and power of God which stills the enemy and the avenger. David began and ended his Psalm with identical words: "O LORD our Lord, how excellent is thy name in all the earth!" This is a literary deice called framing, in which a literary work opens and closes with its key thought. In Psalm 8, the excellence of God is the key thought, as disclosed by the opening and closing words of the passage. The material between describes that excellence in vivid terms (1). The first of God's excellencies is that he is able to overcome his enemies with the mere words of babes and sucklings, with no need for great displays of power (2). More of his excellence can be seen in creation. The heavens are so glorious that it would seem that God would pay no attention to man. Nevertheless, he made man a little lower than the angels and crowned him with glory and honor. He gave man dominion over all of his works and put all things on earth under his control (3-8). For these reasons David repeats his opening praise" "O LORD our Lord, how excellent is thy name in all the earth! (9). [ Sermons: John Woodhouse. Geoff Thomas. Stuart Olyott. Graham Beynon.

I have attempted to list conservative, scholarly resources. However, some providers use liberal or liberal-influenced commentaries such as the Cambridge Bible for Schools and Colleges (in Bible Hub). Such commentaries are undoubtedly included by the provider for the wealth of useful information and comments which they provide. By consulting several commentaries, it should be fairly easy to sort out the wheat from the chaff. If, however, you would like personal assistance, write to me at AD LIB ARTS EMAIL.

O LORD our Lord, how excellent is thy name in all the earth! who hast set thy glory above the heavens. 2 Out of the mouth of babes and sucklings hast thou ordained strength because of thine enemies, that thou mightest still the enemy and the avenger. 3 When I consider thy heavens, the work of thy fingers, the moon and the stars, which thou hast ordained; 4 What is man, that thou art mindful of him? and the son of man, that thou visitest him? 5 For thou hast made him a little lower than the angels [and you are decreasing him a little from Elohim], and hast crowned him with glory and honour. 6 Thou madest him to have dominion over the works of thy hands; thou hast put all things under his feet: 7 All sheep and oxen, yea, and the beasts of the field; 8 The fowl of the air, and the fish of the sea, and whatsoever passeth through the paths of the seas. 9 O LORD our Lord, how excellent is thy name in all the earth! * NOTE: On Opening and Closing Comments in the Psalms. [Some commentators take the Psalm in Habakkuk 3 to be a standard model for the Psalms. Habakkuk's Psalm begins with the name of the composer (Habakkuk) and a musical notation ("upon Shigionoth"). It closes with a dedication or a "send to" notice ("To the chief singer on my stringed instruments"). I have arranged similar material, where it is found in the Psalter, in accord with the model in Habakkuk.]
