Psalm 8

For the choir director: A psalm of David, to be accompanied by a stringed instrument. F7
1 O LORD, our Lord, the majesty of your name fills the earth! Your glory is higher than the heavens.
2 You have taught children and nursing infants to give you praise. F8 They silence your enemies who were seeking revenge.
3 When I look at the night sky and see the work of your fingers— the moon and the stars you have set in place—
4 what are mortals that you should think of us, mere humans that you should care for us? F9
5 For you made us only a little lower than God, F10 and you crowned us with glory and honor.
6 You put us in charge of everything you made, giving us authority over all things—
7 the sheep and the cattle and all the wild animals,
8 the birds in the sky, the fish in the sea, and everything that swims the ocean currents.
9 O LORD, our Lord, the majesty of your name fills the earth!

Chinling- Psalm 8 reminded me to Praise the Lord for who he is, and as I praise Jesus for who he is, I am assured of his authority in our lives, and of the position that he has given me. As I praise the Lord, Faith will arise in me as I see how big he is to be in control of the entire universe and yet, this BIG LORD has chosen ME. Praising God in all of his greatness keeps me humble yet confident of my position in the Lord.

Crow: God, in all his majesty and splendor, treats us as so so precious to Him... I praise Him! :)

Dellia: When I read Psalm 8, I can't help but feel like what have I done to deserve the Lord. He put us in charge of everything He has made and I realized that despite what I feel, I need to rise up and take charge of what God has given me and put in my best in all that I do.

Aileen: i'm reminded of God's grace! really... who are we?! so .. kum sia zhu

Phebe: After reading this psalm, I was led to praise God for all that He has done for me. There is a song composed with the lyrics of this psalm...an old christian worship song. ended up singing and worshipping God with it. :)

Jacq: God reminded me that I am His Princess, and He loves me.. His grace n mercies are new every morning.

Huijuan: As i read this psalm, i was reminded of God's love. I think i 'm not worthy to be loved by Him and yet, He's mindful of me. So this really reminded me to give thanks and always have God in my heart. :)
