But there is more to this psalm than meets the eye. I try to look at it through the eyes of David, but then I go further and see what Jesus had to say about the psalm, and finally how it was interpreted by the author of the Epistle to the Hebrews. It's a short psalm--nine verses. Read through it and then click the link to hear the sermon I preached from it.
Soli Deo Gloria
O LORD, our Lord,
how majestic is your name in all the earth!
You have set your glory above the heavens.
Out of the mouth of babies and infants,
you have established strength because of your foes,
to still the enemy and the avenger.
When I look at your heavens, the work of your fingers,
the moon and the stars, which you have set in place,
what is man that you are mindful of him,
and the son of man that you care for him?
Yet you have made him a little lower than the heavenly beings
and crowned him with glory and honor.
You have given him dominion over the works of your hands;
you have put all things under his feet,
all sheep and oxen, and also the beasts of the field,
the birds of the heavens, and the fish of the sea,
whatever passes along the paths of the seas.
O LORD, our Lord,
how majestic is your name in all the earth!
