Psalms 8:9
"O LORD our Lord, how excellent is thy name in all the earth!"

Commentary

Gill's Exposition

O Lord our Lord, how excellent is thy name in all the earth! The psalm ends with the same words with which it begins; which shows that the sense of

this, with which the psalmist was affected, continued with him, and doubtless increased, after such a confirmation of it, by the instances he was led to take notice of. See Gill on Psa 8:1 .
