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

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

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

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

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