George Leo Haydock, on Ps 8:4

“For I will behold thy heavens, the works of thy fingers: the moon and the stars which thou hast founded.”

“Fingers, as if they had been formed in play, while the Incarnation is the work of God’s right hand. (Eusebius) (Calmet) — Heavens, moon, and stars, denote the Church. No mention is made of the sun, because it is the emblem of Christ, who was the Creator. (Berthier) (Apocalypse xii. 1.) — This text proves that the world was not formed by angels, as some ancient heretics asserted. David, perhaps, wrote this at night; and the sun and stars are not seen together. (Menochius)”
