Psalm 8
How Majestic Is Your Name
To the choirmaster: according to The Gittith.[a] A Psalm of David.
1O LORD, our Lord,how majestic is your name in all the earth! You have set your glory above the heavens.
2Out of the mouth of babes and infants, you have established strength because of your foes,to still the enemy and the avenger.
3When I look at your heavens, the work of your fingers,the moon and the stars, which you have set in place,
4what is man that you are mindful of him,and the son of man that you care for him?
5Yet you have made him a little lower than the heavenly beings[b]and crowned him with glory and honor.
6You have given him dominion over the works of your hands;you have put all things under his feet,
7all sheep and oxen,and also the beasts of the field,
8the birds of the heavens, and the fish of the sea,whatever passes along the paths of the seas. 9O LORD, our Lord,how majestic is your name in all the earth!
Footnotes:
Psalm 8:1 Probably a musical or liturgical term
Psalm 8:5 Or than God; Septuagint than the angels
It was one of those days yesterday. Now this is kind of dangerous, making the following statement in an email read by leaders within my company, but yesterday I should have paid Taco Bell for the privilege of working.
I was able to spend some time in the car driving through some of the best country that God has created. The mountains of Pennsylvania and New York are just spectacular this time of year. I feel sorry for those of you in Miami or LA as you miss the fall leaf season. Of course, I envy you in February while shoveling 12 inches of snow off of the car. And after spending some time in His Creation, I got to spend some time with great teams serving our guests in a spectacular fashion. What a day!
The mountains were decked out in brilliant oranges, yellow, reds and browns punctuated by the brilliant greens of the pines. At times I drove through wide valleys of outrageous hues and at other times I followed the colors along awe inspiring mountain ridges. But look beyond the autumnal fireworks display and think about the physical and chemical processes occurring. As the trees begin to shut down for the winter, the leaves fall to the ground to return vital nutrients to the soil. Only an all powerful God would design such things. Oh Lord our Lord, how majestic is your name in all the earth!
To His Glory
