1897 260 In these psalms we have varied glories of the Lord Jesus brought before us. In Ps. 2. He is presented as God's King yet to be established on His holy hill of Zion, and as the Son of God owned as such on earth; in Ps. 8. it is the Son of Man, for Whom God intends universal dominion, and Who will make His name excellent in all the earth, God's thoughts and plans find no response in the heart of man. Christ is the centre of God's thoughts, He seeks the glory of Christ in all that He does, whether in creation, redemption or government; but to all this the natural man is utterly a stranger. He cannot get beyond himself and the earth he moves in, which he would fain hold in his own possession for the gratification of his own desires, ignoring altogether the divine glory and the rights of Christ.
