PSALM 8
THERE’S MAJESTY TO GOD’S NAME
FROM HERE TO HIGH HEAVEN, GOD SHINES
A psalm of David. LORD and master, There’s a majesty to your name throughout the earth. Your glory shines from here to high heaven… When I look at the sky you created with your fingers, And the moon and stars you hung there, I have to ask why you bother with people. Why do you care about us at all? You created us just a little less than yourself. And then you glorified us with high honors.HUMANITY: EARTH’S CARETAKER
You put us in charge of everything you made. Gave us control of all of your creatures: Every sheep and cow in the fields, Every wild critter in the woods, Every bird in the sky and fish in the sea, And any other animal that gets wet in the water. LORD and master, There’s a majesty to your name, spread throughout the earth.Majestic, the God who puts humans in charge
