Psalm 8

1. O Self-Existent One, Our Sovereign, Your authority, your honor, your character is powerful, wide and large everywhere. Even looking up I can see your grandeur.
2. The intimate relation between a nursing baby and mother illustrates how you give security to counteract those who have tried to ‘cramp’ You and stops the lies coming from those who hate you and have a grudge against You, my heavenly Father.
3. To get a better idea of who You really are I only need to look up and observe what even something so small as even Your finger can accomplish – such awesome things such as the moon and stars which you have integrated into a universe.
4. When I see how overwhelmingly ‘big’ and awesome what you have created is I begin to wonder why You even consider created human beings.
5. You made them just a little less than yourself; you gave them the power to reproduce, make families and you care for them, pay attention to them and miss being with them .
6 -8. You made the human family just slightly less than God and surrounded him with splendor and magnificence. You made him ruler over everything You created here on earth – all sources of provisions and all ecosystems.
9. O Lord, You are powerful and Your position is over all.
