There was a soft, warm breeze.
The stars were bright in the sky.
It seemed that you could touch them.
And David, the shepherd boy, knew that
God's creation was great!
When I look at the sky, which you have made,
Yet you made him inferior only to yourself;
sheep and cattle, and wild animals too;
LORD, our Lord,
And he wrote a Psalm . . .
LORD, our Lord,
your greatness is seen in all the world!
Your praise reaches up to the heavens;
it is sung by children and babies.
You have built a fortress against your foes...
to stop your enemies and adversaries.
at the moon and the stars, which you set in their places -
What is man, that you think of him;
mere man, that you care for him?
you crowned him with glory and honor.
You made him ruler over all you have made;
you placed him over all things;
the birds and the fish, and all the creatures in the seas.
your greatness is seen in all the world!
Psalm 8
