    to memorize Psalms 23 and 100 at an early agePassages rom Psalms are quoted approximately 80times in the New estament, more than any otherOld estament book odays worship and praisesongs are flled with words taken rom Psalms

    It is best, however, not to think o Psalms as abook like most other Bible books It is actually acollection o material rom many diferent authorsand periods in the history o Israel Tis collectionis divided into fve subbooks, each ending witha similar statement o praise to God (see Psalms41:13; 72:18, 19; 89:52; 106:48; and 150:6) Manypeople think that King David, Israels singer osongs (2 Samuel 23:1), wrote the psalms Indeed,we fnd his name attahed to 72 psalms, ut thatis ewer than hal o them David is just 1 o 7authors we can identiy In addition to him, wefnd psalms written y Asaph, the Sons o Korah,Solomon, Moses, Heman, and Ethan Moreover,51 psalms (about one-third) do not identiy theauthor, thus remaining anonymous

    odays text, Psalm 8, is ascribed to DavidWe are told in the psalms superscription that itis to be perormed according to the Gittith, butwe are not sure what aGittith was Some believeit is related to the word or winepress. I this is thecase, the directions are to sing it using the melodyrom the Song o the Winepress, although we do

    not have this tuneAnother explanation is that the Gittith was some

    type o musical instrument, perhaps a stringedinstrument Again, this is possible, but we do notknow what such an instrument looked like or whattype o sound it produced Regardless, we recog-nize the inuence o this psalm in such well-knownhymns as How Great Tou Art, For the Beautyo the Earth, and Tis Is My Fathers World

    Psalm 8 is sometimes designated as a creation

    psalm. Others in this ategory inlude Psalms 19,29, 65, and 104 Tey all contain parallels to Gen-esis 1 and meditate on the marvel and power oGods reation Many other passages present Godas the Creator (see Jo 38, 39; Isaiah 42:5; Amos4:13; ompare Colossians 1:15-17) Psalm 8 is thebest-known creation psalm, and it still serves tohelp us understand the mysteries o Gods pur-poses in reating the universe

    I. Divine Excellency(Psalm 8:1, 2)

    A. Preeminence in Earth and Heaven (v. 1)

    1. OLord, our Lord,how majestic is your name in all the earth!

    You have set your gloryabove the heavens.

    David begins by marveling at the Lords maj-esty Te word majesticconveys a sense o royalsplendor David distinguishes the Lord romearthly kings, though, y prolaiming that Godsglory extends ar beyond the human realm to bethe preeminent name in all the universe, higherthan any reated reality, even that othe heavens.

    It is a quirk o our English translations that theword Lordis repeated here or no apparent reasonHowever, the areul reader will note that the frstLordis in small capital letters while the secondis not Te small-capital rendering is the conven-tional way o translating the divine, personal nameo God, which is Yahweh. Tis is sometimes calledthe Tetragrammaton, meaning our letters With-out vowels (whih is how Herew is written), Yah-weh shortens to YHWH, which are the our lettersA long-standing tradition in English translationsis to indicate this word by using small capital let-ters in the text, thus Lord. Te seond Lordis the

    word o respet that means lord in any ontext,whether addressed to God or ones superior

    What Do You Think?

    If Gods glory is already above the heavens,

    how can we glorify him as other psalms call

    us to do?

    Talking Points for Your Discussion Isaiah 42:12; Jeremiah 13:16; Revelation 4:9; 14:7 Glory as stuff vs. glory as recognition Obedience, praise, and worship as they relate

    to glory

    B. Paradoxical Power (v. 2)

    2. From the lips of children and infantsyou have ordained praise

    because of your enemies,to silence the foe and the avenger.

    Sometimes the best way to understand the attri-butes o God is to speak in a paradox Here Davidpresents the example o the weakest human beings:children and infants. His point is that the majestyo the Lord is so overwhelming that even these weeones can be empowered to acknowledge God anddo his work Tis is a power that routs any whowould stand as an enemy o God or his peopleTe weakest people who trust in the Lord are morepowerul than the strongest o the godless

    Tis paradox is enacted during Jesus last pub-lic ministry in Jerusalem At that time, the chil-dren and common people acclaim him as Messiahwhile the powerul leaders o the city reject himJesus quotes this verse to explain the apparent con-tradiction (Matthew 21:16)

    II. Human Insignificance(Psalm 8:3, 4)A. Speck in the Universe (v. 3)

    3. When I consider your heavens,the work o your fngers,

    the moon and the stars,which you have set in place,

    Human understanding o the immensity o theuniverse has grown dramatically since the time oDavid What has not changed is the awe that we

    eel (or should eel) when gazing at a clear sky ona dark, cloudless night Tis is even more spec-tacular i we are removed rom the lights o a city

    and away rom any pollution in the air I we are athigh altitude, this is magnied to another level

    We can see the abulous phenomenon we callthe Milky Way, and yet we understand that it isnot white liquid in the sky It is comprised o starsin such number and concentration that they looklike white blotches Some scientists believe thereare more than 100 billion stars in our galaxy alone,with more than 400 billion galaxies in the uni-verse Most calculators cannot process these num-bers, and neither can our minds ully grasp them

    David understands all this humbling magni-cence to be the careul and delicate creation o hisCreator It is the work o Gods ngers, an inti-mate act Davids ancestors understood the ngero God as having written words on stone tab-lets or Moses, giving Israel its law (Exodus 31:18)David is not saying that our God is a gloried

    human with a physical body, but that our Cre-ator is personal and deliberate beyond our great-est imaginings

    What Do You Think?

    What comes to mind when we think o someone

    working with his or her fngers? What could

    this imply about the creation and the Creator?

    Talking Points for Your Discussion Attention to detail

    Advance planning

    Gods creation is with purpose It is not thebored experiment o a capricious deity God hascreated men and women to be in ellowship withhim God also has created a beautiul, meaninguluniverse to be our home (Isaiah 45:18)

    oday, some scientists cannot imagine thathumanity is the center and purpose o the uni-verse Tey want, desperately, to nd intelligent

    beings on other planets o such scientists, weare an insignicant speck in this enormous uni-verse Teir aith in the randomness o nature andthe known extent o the universe causes them todoubt the uniqueness o humanity

    All this can be understood only i we realizethat God is the Creator o all, and he answers tono scientist as to why and how he has ordered hiscreation David would agree that we are a tiny

    time or him to leave Laban and return home, it ispresented as a revelation through an angel (Genesis31:11), yet the message Jacob receives is presentedas the voice o God himsel (Genesis 31:13)

    What we do know, however, is that angels arenot gloried human beings We do not becomeangels when we die, although we become likethe angels in certain respects (Luke 20:35, 36)Angels are a created order o beings distinct romhumans Tey are not described as being made inGods image, as humans are (Genesis 1:27) Teact that we will judge angels (1 Corinthians6:3) indicates that beinga little lower than themisa temporary situation

    What Do You Think?

    How does popular culture view angels? Whats

    wrong and right with those ideas?

    Talking Points for Your Discussion Cultural ideas that match the Bible Cultural ideas that contradict the Bible Cultural ideas that cannot be confrmed or

    reuted by the Bible

    B. Position o Responsibility (vv. 6-8)

    6. You made him ruler over the works oyour hands;

    you put everything under his eet:David presents the true position and purpose

    o humanity While on earth, we are created tounction in a position below the angelic beings oGods Heaven, but above all other created thingsMan is acknowledged to be aruler, having a posi-tion o power and control

    Being a ruler is not permission to exploit, how-ever Herein lies the stewardship responsibility othe human race Genesis records that God created

    a man and placed him in a beautiul garden towork it and take care of it (Genesis 2:15) God hasgiven us a marvelous home in which to live Willwe treat the earth with respect or with contempt?

    7, 8. . . . all ocks and herds,and the beasts o the feld,

    the birds o the air,and the fsh o the sea,all that swim the paths o the seas.

    David lists the three realms o living beings asunderstood by ancient people: land, air, and sea(compare Genesis 1:28) His description includesboth domesticated and wild animals Tese arethe areas o human dominion

    Reductionist science is uneasy with this biblicalperspective Some scientists want to see the humanrace as just another species among many Yet thatviewpoint is unable to explain the vast diferencein intelligence between human beings and the restof the animal species No other animal species evenapproaches the human capacity or knowledge

    Te Bible also teaches that we are unique in ourspiritual nature, and therefore our relationship withGod While we may share DNA and genes withother animals, humans are created with a dignityand purpose that no other mortal lie orm pos-sesses o assert that human life is no more impor-tant or valuable than any other living creature is adirect contradiction o Davids teaching here

    What Do You Think?

    What are some ways you can exercise your

    ruler role in a godly manner?

    wo eighteenth-century European philoso-phers illustrate two o secular societys perspec-tives on human nature Jean-Jacques Rousseau(17121778) is commonly credited with speak-ing o humans as noble savages (although thatterm actually was rst used by John Dryden in1692) By this designation, Rousseau believed that

    humans are good when in the state o nature thatcharacterizes all the other animals (as he wouldhave phrased it), but we become increasingly cor-rupted by society
