But when the chief priests and the scribes saw the wonderful things
that he did, and the children crying out in the temple, “Hosanna to
the son of David!” they were indignant, and they said to him, “Do you
hear what these are saying?” And Jesus said to them, “Yes; have you
never read, ‘Out of the mouth of infants and nursing babies you have
prepared praise’?” -Matthew 21:15,16

Jesus quotes from Psalm 8:2

Out of the mouth of babies and infants, you have established strength
because of your foes, to still the enemy and the avenger.

My question is in regards to the end of David’s clause “you establish strength.” How does Jesus find “praise” in this verse?

    Jesus is the author of Psalm 8. He never errs.
