Psalms 8:6-9

What Is Mankind? The Majestic LORD and Humanity Crowned under His Rule

Majestic name -> weak praise silences enemies -> cosmic wonder -> human mindfulness -> crowned dignity -> entrusted dominion -> majestic name

Berean Standard Bible, Public Domain - Translation notes - Reference sources

6 You made him ruler of the works of Your hands; You have placed everything under his feet:

7 all sheep and oxen, and even the beasts of the field,

8 the birds of the air and the fish of the sea, all that swim the paths of the seas.

9 O LORD, our Lord, how majestic is Your name in all the earth!
