8 For the choir director: a psalm of David, to be accompanied by a stringed instrument.
1 O LORD, our Lord, your majestic name fills the earth! Your glory is higher than the heavens.
2 You have taught children and infants to tell of your strength, silencing your enemies and all who oppose you.
3 When I look at the night sky and see the work of your fingers---the moon and the stars you set in place----
4 what are mere mortals that you should think about them, humans beings that you care for them?
5 Yet you made them only a little lower than God and crowned them with glory and honor.
6 You gave them charge of everything you made, putting all things under their authority----
7 the flocks and the herds and all the wild animals,
8 the birds in the sky, the fish in the sea, and everything that swims the ocean currents.
9 O LORD, our Lord, your majestic name fills the earth.
CONNECTION POINTS
8:1-9 The Pinnacle of God's Creation Made "in the image of God' (Genesis 1:27), human beings are at the apex of God's creation---" wonderfully complex.... marvelous" beings (Psalm 139:14) who bear great responsibility toward one another and all of creation. When we fulfill these responsibilities, we bring glory and honor to God; when we don't, suffering often ensues.
