V. 8.— Thou hast put all things in subjection under his feet. For in that he put all in subjection under him, he left nothing that is not put under him. But now we see not get all things put under him. Thou hast put all things in subjection under his feet.— In a very limited sense this is true of Adam and his posterity. The subjection of the animals, even to a child, is very wonderful, and can only be accounted for by the fear and dread of man being on all the creatures. Genesis 9:2. For in that he put all in subjection under him, he left nothing that is not put under him.— We have seen that the words quoted by the Apostle, in a limited and modified degree, hold true even of fallen man; but the Apostle takes them in their full extent, without any modification. But now we see not yet all things put under him.— Not unfrequently the word all must be understood with limitation; but the Apostle teaches us that the word all, in the eighth Psalm, is to be understood in the fullest and most unlimited sense, as leaving nothing in the universe which is not put under the Son of man, whether in the heavens above, or in the earth beneath. Even in this world there are many things which man, by his utmost exertions, is unable to accomplish; and, although the animals are in a measure subjected to him, yet there are many of which he is justly afraid, and which devour him when they find opportunity.
