This is a beautiful Psalm. I mention it in the previous post because it is played upon a gittith. This psalm is written by David and is a psalm about “Divine majesty and human dignity.” Notice the early origin of the expression “out of the mouth of babes.”
Psalm 8
O Lord, our Lord, how awesome is your name through all the earth? You have set your majesty above the heavens!
Out of the mouths of babes and infants you have drawn a defense against your foes, to silence enemy and avenger.
When I see your heavens, the work of your fingers, the moon and stars that you set in place-
What are humans that you are mindful of them, mere mortals that you care for them?
Yet you have made them little less than a god, crowned them with glory and honor.
You have given them rule over the works of your hands, put all things at their feet:
All sheep and oxen, even the beasts of the field,
The birds of the air, the fish of the sea, and whatever swims the paths of the seas.
O Lord, our Lord, how awesome is your name through all the earth!
