This Chapter Verse Commentaries:
Say (λέγουσιν)
The Rev. is more graphic, are saying. While the songs and shouts are rising, the priests turn angrily to Christ with the question, “Hearest thou what these are saying?”
Thou hast perfected (θκατηρτίσω)
The same word as at Mat 4:21, where it is used of adjusting or mending nets. Its secondary meaning is to furnish completely, equip; hence to perfect. Thou hast provided the perfection of praise. The quotation from Psa 8:2, follows the Septuagint, and not the Hebrew, which is, “Thou hast founded strength.”
