God's Glory and Human DignityPs 8 Hebrew title: A psalm by David.
1O LORD, our Lord,
your greatness is seen in all the world!
Your praise reaches up to the heavens;
28.2: Mt 21.16it is sung by children and babies.
You are safe and secure from all your enemies;
you stop anyone who opposes you.
3When I look at the sky, which you have made,
at the moon and the stars, which you set in their places —
48.4: Job 7.17–18; Ps 144.3; Heb 2.6–8what are human beings, that you think of them;
mere mortals, that you care for them?
5Yet you made them inferior only to yourself;8.5 yourself; or the gods, or the angels.
you crowned them with glory and honour.
68.6: 1 Cor 15.27; Eph 1.22; Heb 2.8You appointed them rulers over everything you made;
you placed them over all creation:
7sheep and cattle, and the wild animals too;
8the birds and the fish
and the creatures in the seas.
9O LORD, our Lord,
your greatness is seen in all the world!
