1Lord, our Lord, How majestic is Your name in all the earth, You who have displayed Your splendor above the heavens! ✦ 2From the mouths of infants and nursing babies You have established strength Because of Your enemies, To do away with the enemy and the revengeful. ✦ 3¶When I consider Your heavens, the work of Your fingers, The moon and the stars, which You have set in place; ✦ 4What is man that You think of him, And a son of man that You are concerned about him? ✦ 5Yet You have made him a little lower than God, And You crown him with glory and majesty! ✦ 6You have him rule over the works of Your hands; You have put everything under his feet, ✦ 7All sheep and oxen, And also the animals of the field, ✦ 8The birds of the sky, and the fish of the sea, Whatever passes through the paths of the seas. ✦ 9¶Lord, our Lord, How majestic is Your name in all the earth! ✦

Christ at the center

The Psalms are Christ's own prayer book and a gallery of his portraits — the suffering one of Psalm 22, the risen Lord of Psalm 16, the priest-king of Psalm 110, the Son to whom the nations are given.

How Psalms 8 points to him is part of the one story that runs through all Scripture — meet Jesus at the heart of the web, or follow a trail that traces him from Genesis to Revelation.
