Psalm 8 (CEV)

(A psalm by David for the music leader.)

The Wonderful Name of the Lord

8 Our Lord and Ruler,
    your name is wonderful
    everywhere on earth!
You let your glory be seen
    in the heavens above.
2 With praises from children
and from tiny infants,
    you have built a fortress.
It makes your enemies silent,
    and all who turn against you
    are left speechless.

3 I often think of the heavens
    your hands have made,
    and of the moon and stars
    you put in place.
4 Then I ask, “Why do you care
    about us humans?
    Why are you concerned
    for us weaklings?”
5 You made us a little lower
    than you yourself,
    and you have crowned us
    with glory and honor.

6 You let us rule everything
    your hands have made.
And you put all of it
    under our power—
7     the sheep and the cattle,
    and every wild animal,
8     the birds in the sky,
the fish in the sea,
    and all ocean creatures.

9 Our Lord and Ruler,
    your name is wonderful
    everywhere on earth!

God has done some awesome things.  He is mighty and majestic.  He has created the entire universe – and yet he knows and cares about little old me.

I don’t know about you, but I find that mind-blowing and humbling – and I can’t help but come in wonder and praise that God should love me amongst all the other things he has to do.  But that is how important I am to him.

He cares about and loves you.  You are important to him.
