how majestic is your name in all the earth!
You have set your glory
above the heavens.
2 From the lips of children and infants
you have ordained praise
because of your enemies,
to silence the foe and the avenger.
Wow, the lips of children & infants, The lord has ordained praise. He had ordained praise... mustn't we do what we supposed to do? Praising the Lord Almighty?
3 When I consider your heavens,
the work of your fingers,
the moon and the stars,
which you have set in place,
This reminds me of the Seminar. He had set them all in place. He is the creator of the universe. The massive size of the universe, He can contain...who is He? what is He? We humbly submit our limited knowledge and present ourselves before Thee.
4 what is man that you are mindful of him,
the son of man that you care for him?
Compare to the universe, we are so insignificant, nothing...why He loves me so?
5 You made him a little lower than the heavenly beings
and crowned him with glory and honor.
Man...is crowned with glory and honor. We are dignified creatures. Our worth depends on the creator and the creator is pleased with us. He bestows glory and honor to us. Why are we down and rejected? see our creator treasures us. Words from fellow creatures means nothing, we are His.
6 You made him ruler over the works of your hands;
you put everything under his feet:
He graciously gives us authority over his other creations. He treats us special and that is because of trust and love for us.
7 all flocks and herds,
and the beasts of the field,
8 the birds of the air,
and the fish of the sea,
all that swim the paths of the seas.
9 O LORD, our Lord,
how majestic is your name in all the earth!
Psalm 8
