Psalm 8: You have set your Glory in the Heavens. | Anita Mathias: Dreaming Beneath the Spires

STARRY NIGHT OVER THE RHONE.

Psalm 8

¹ LORD, our Lord,
how majestic is your name in all the earth!

You are majestic

You have set your glory
in the heavens.

The scatter of stars in the heavens tells of your glory

² Through the praise of children and infants
   you have established a stronghold against your enemies,
   to silence the foe and the avenger.
³ When I consider your heavens,
   the work of your fingers,
the moon and the stars,
   which you have set in place,
⁴ what is mankind that you are mindful of them,
   human beings that you care for them?

You who created the galaxies, is mindful of me, he cares for me.God cares for the big and small; the galaxies, and the details of my life.

⁵ You have made them a little lower than the angels
   and crowned themwith glory and honor.
⁶ You made them rulers over the works of your hands;
   you put everything under their feet:
⁷ all flocks and herds,
   and the animals of the wild,
⁸ the birds in the sky,
   and the fish in the sea,
   all that swim the paths of the seas.
