Psalms 8:9 - Commentary Critical and Explanatory on the Whole Bible

Bible Comments

O LORD our Lord, how excellent is thy name in all the earth!

Translate as (note) Psalms 8:1, 'O Yahweh our Lord.' In the English version, the LORD, where it stands for YAHWEH (H3068), is in capital letters; where for 'Adonay (H113), it is in small letters. This burst of praise in Psalms 8:1 is the language of believing hope, in Psalms 8:9 that of praise at the consummation of redemption. All God's redeemed ones shall join the song (Revelation 19:1; Revelation 19:4-6).
