The Book of Psalms Psalm No. 8


The Book of Psalms 

Psalm Number 



8



¹  O LORD, our Sovereign; how majestic is your name in all the earth! You have set your glory above the heavens.



(Book of Psalms No. 8 verse 1)



Oh God, my Father, indeed there is no name like Yours. All existence is subject to You and hallowed and worshipped is to be Your Name Amen. 



² Out of the mouths of babes and infants you have founded a bulwark because of your foes, to silence the enemy and the avenger.




(Book of Psalms No. 8 verse 2)



Oh God, my Father You make use of our weakness as a means of defending us against the evil one, who does not stand a chance against You. Moreover, if You had to use our strengths the victory would be even greater Amen. However, You are my strength and my salvation Amen.




³ When I look at your heavens, the work of your fingers, the moon and the stars that you have established; ⁴ what are human beings that you are mindful of them mortals that you care for them?




(Book of Psalms No. 8 verses 3 to 4)





Oh God my Father why do you love me so much as a human, why do You love humanity. Although we are all sinners You chose to become human to be able to understand our limitations and appreciate the strengths that You have given us. I thank You for everything in the name of humanity Amen.




⁵ Yet you have made them a little lower than God, and crowned them with glory and honor. ⁶ You have given them dominion over the works of your hands; you have put all things under their feet, ⁷ all sheep and oxen, and also the beasts of the field, ⁸ the birds of the air, and the fish of the sea, whatever passes along the paths of the seas. ⁹ O LORD, our Sovereign how majestic is your name in all the earth!



(Book of Psalms No. 8 verses 5 to 9)




Oh God my Father I thank You for sharing Your attributes and qualities with us, You have made us like You in many different and even similar ways. I pray that we appreciate such qualities as gifts from You Amen.



I would like to end this meditation on the eight Psalm with the following prayer:


Brothers and sisters of all nations and relatives in Jesus Christ my God and Father, have heart and be filled with joy even though you may be experiencing tribulations, for the Lord our God is with us, He is our refuge and our salvation. In all circumstances keep in mind that;

                  
                           "You are not alone for the Lord our God is with you"

                                                               Amen.
