Psalm 8

John Wesley’s Explanatory Notes (1754–65)

Short notes for ordinary readers by the founder of Methodism: practical, brief and to the point.

Verses 1–9

In - Not only in Israel, but among all nations. Which shews that this psalm speaks of the Messiah, and the times of the New Testament. Heavens - Where thy throne of glory is established, where the blessed angels celebrate thy praises, where Christ sitteth at thy right hand in glorious majesty, from whence he poureth down excellent gifts upon babes.
