‏ Psalms 8:9

How Majestic Is God’s Name!

The psalm concludes in this verse with the same words with which it begins in Psa 8:1. David has, what he says in the opening verse, clarified in the following verses. As a result, we have understood why David begins with this and has involved us in his admiration for God’s Name. This will be fully fulfilled in the realm of peace.

For us it has an even deeper dimension. We do not yet see everything subjected to Him, but we see Him to Whom everything will be subjected. In addition, we are united with Him, the Son of Man, and will share in His reign in the realm of peace. In that realm His dominion is not only over all that is on the earth, but also over all that is in the heavens (Eph 1:10). For us, His Name is already majestic in our hearts and lives, while outwardly nothing of His dominion is visible yet.
