Matthew Poole and continuators on Psalms 8:3

3. When I consider thy heavens , the work of thy fingers , the moon and the stars which thou hast ordained ;

Thine by Creation, as it follows, and

(i. e.) of thy hand, as it is expressed Psal. 102. 25. A part being here put for the whole: God's hand and finger being indifferently used to note his Power, as Exod. 8. 19. L[illegible: 1+ letters]k. 11. 20. &c. Though some conceive that by this Phrase he intended to signify, both with what facility God made this glorious Work, even with a touch of his Finger; and with what curiou[illegible: 1+ letters] and exquisite Artifice he framed it; the Fingers being much used in such Works.

Either the Son is included under this general Title: or he omitted it, because he made this Psalm by Night, when the Sun did not fall within his Contemplation.

Or, established, or directed, or disposed, or ordered, (i. e.) placed in that excellent and unalterable Order, and directed to all their several Courses or Motions.
