O Eternal, our Lord,
Your majestic name is heard throughout the earth;
Your magnificent glory shines far above the skies.
Psalm 8:1 The Voice
***
***
When I gaze to the skies and meditate on Your creation—
on the moon, stars, and all You have made,
I can’t help but wonder why You care about mortals—
sons and daughters of men—
specks of dust floating about the cosmos.
Psalm 8:3-4 The Voice
***
***
But You placed the son of man just beneath God
and honored him like royalty, crowning him with glory and honor.
Psalm 8:5 The Voice
***
You ordained him to govern the works of Your hands,
to nurture the offspring of Your divine imagination;
You placed everything on earth beneath his feet:
All kinds of domesticated animals,
even the wild animals in the fields and forests,
The birds of the sky and the fish of the sea,
all the multitudes of living things that travel the currents of the oceans.
Psalm 8:6-8 The Voice

O Eternal, our Lord,
Your majestic name is heard throughout the earth.
Psalm 8:9 The Voice
