Draft selections — awaiting the founder’s edit.

When we are observing the glory of God in the kingdom of nature and providence we should be led by that, and through that, to the contemplation of his glory in the kingdom of grace.

Matthew Henry· Commentary on the Whole Bible, 1710puritan

This psalm is, in the New Testament, applied to Christ and the work of our redemption which he wrought out; the honour given by the children of men to him (

Matthew Henry· Commentary on the Whole Bible, 1710puritan

His charter, by which he holds this royalty, bears equal date with his creation ( Gen. i. 28 ) and was renewed after the flood, Gen. ix. God has put all things under man's feet, that he might serve himself, not only of the labour, but of the productions and lives of the inferior creatures; they are all delivered into his hand, nay, they are all put under his feet.

Matthew Henry· Commentary on the Whole Bible, 1710puritan

In a modified sense, in his present fallen state, man is still invested with some remains of this original dominion. It is very evident, however, by the apostle's inspired expositions (Heb 2:6-8; 1Co 15:27, 28) that the language here employed finds its fulfilment only in the final exaltation of Christ's human nature.
