In order to be an overcomer upon the winepresses, we must praise the Lord like a suckling babe in this Psalm.  This defeats the Lord's enemies (v2). </div> <div> Also winepresses indicate that we should be beside ourselves in praising the Lord.</div> <div> <B> <A NAME="n2"><IMG BORDER="0" SRC="1x1.gif" HEIGHT="1" ALIGN="bottom" WIDTH="1" HSPACE="0" VSPACE="0" ></A></B></div> <div> <A HREF="psalm_8_m.htm#2" TARGET="TRLX_Middle" TITLE="Psalm 8 Overcomer O Lord, our Lord how">v2</A> - Lit. Out of the mouth of babes and sucklings ... because of Your adversaries, to destroy the enemy and the avenger.</div> <div> The Hebrew words translated "established strength" are translated "perfected praise" by LXX and the Lord in <A HREF="psalm_8_m.htm#matt__2115" TARGET="TRLX_Middle" TITLE="Psalm 8 Overcomer O Lord, our Lord how">Matt 21:16</A>. Out of the mouth of babes, the Lord has perfected praise, and this praise is strength against all kinds of enemies.  We think that to perfect something takes maturity, but perfect praise does not require maturity. Perfect praise comes when we are as genuine as a babe. </div> <bR> <div> We need to be genuine like a babe to share the gospel to win over the Lord's adversaries.</div> <bR> <div> To still the enemy means to silence him.

The second is son of <I>Adam</I>, which is the Biblical way of saying "a human being". Both terms refer to human beings after the fall of man. <I>Enosh </I>can refer to mortal man as a whole or as an individual, while son of man refers to an individual man. God thinks about and visits us both as a group and as individuals.  </div> <div> <B> <A NAME="n5_1"><IMG BORDER="0" SRC="1x1.gif" HEIGHT="1" ALIGN="bottom" WIDTH="1" HSPACE="0" VSPACE="0" ></A></B></div> <div> <A HREF="psalm_8_m.htm#5_" TARGET="TRLX_Middle" TITLE="Psalm 8 Overcomer O Lord, our Lord how">v5</A> - I used the word "then" in v5 because the Hebrew starts with a <I>vav</I>-consecutive, which means this verse takes place  after something else. Usually, it takes place after what occurred in the previous verse, but that does not make sense here because there is no previous event in the Psalm to follow. Also, God could not have visited a son of man until after Cain was born, and God had lowered man before that. I think the preceding event is the implied creation of man. "Then" implies that God lowered man after He had created him. </div> <bR> <div> Most versions either don't translate the <I>vav</I>-consecutive in this verse or they translate it as "for". LXX and YLT are the most strict about always translating the <I>vav</I>, usually as "and", but in this verse, even they skipped the <I>vav</I>. I have not found any place in the Bible where a <I>vav</I>-consecutive should be translated as "for". </div> <bR> <div> The Hebrew word which I translated as "gods" is <I>elohim</I>, meaning "gods" or "God" depending on the context. It would not make sense to say, "Then You lowered man below God", because that would mean that man previously was not below God.</div> <div> Also, since David is talking to God as "You" it doesn't make sense to say, "You lowered him a little below God". If David meant to say that, he should say, "You lowered him a little below Yourself" (<A HREF="psalm_8_m.htm#thyself" TARGET="TRLX_Middle" TITLE="Psalm 8 Overcomer O Lord, our Lord how">Ps 7:6; 10:1; 18:25-26; etc</A>). I do not know of any place in the Bible where someone talks to God in the 2nd person, and in the same sentence refers to God in the 3rd person. Therefore the correct translation is "gods", referring to angels, both good angels and fallen ones (<A HREF="psalm_8_m.htm#ps82_1" TARGET="TRLX_Middle" TITLE="Psalm 8 Overcomer O Lord, our Lord how">Ps 86:8; Exo 15:11</A>). Since the inspired text of  <A HREF="psalm_8_m.htm#heb2_5" TARGET="TRLX_Middle" TITLE="Psalm 8 Overcomer O Lord, our Lord how">Hebrews 2:7</A><A HREF="psalm_8_m.htm#heb2_5" TARGET="TRLX_Middle" TITLE="Psalm 8 Overcomer O Lord, our Lord how"> </A>translated <I>elohim </I>in this verse as "angels", not "God", we know that "angels" is the correct meaning. The LXX also translated it as "angels". </div> <bR> <div> Most English translations translate the beginning of this verse as "You have made him a little lower than the angels", which sounds like God's creating Adam. But there is no word "made" in the Hebrew of this verse. The Hebrew verb literally means, "caused to lack". To lack means to not have something that you should have (<A HREF="psalm_8_m.htm#exo16_18" TARGET="TRLX_Middle" TITLE="Psalm 8 Overcomer O Lord, our Lord how">Exo 16:18</A>).  God did not create man lacking anything, but when man fell, then God caused him to  lack everlasting life. This verse does not refer to the creation of man.  It refers to the fall of man, when God caused man to suffer death (<A HREF="psalm_8_m.htm#heb2_7" TARGET="TRLX_Middle" TITLE="Psalm 8 Overcomer O Lord, our Lord how">Heb 2:9</A>; <A HREF="psalm_8_m.htm#gen2_16" TARGET="TRLX_Middle" TITLE="Psalm 8 Overcomer O Lord, our Lord how">Gen 2:17; 3:17-19</A>) and to toil to eat bread. Death is something man was not originally supposed to suffer. This lack caused mankind and each man individually to be a slave to the things that were supposed to be subject to him (<A HREF="psalm_8_m.htm#heb2_7" TARGET="TRLX_Middle" TITLE="Psalm 8 Overcomer O Lord, our Lord how">Heb 2:15</A>). LXX and the Greek of<A HREF="psalm_8_m.htm#heb2_7" TARGET="TRLX_Middle" TITLE="Psalm 8 Overcomer O Lord, our Lord how"> Heb 2:7</A> both translate the Hebrew word with a Greek word meaning "lowered".</div> <bR> <div> The Hebrew verb "lowered" is in what is called the "perfect aspect", which means that the action is already completed.
