The stars above are vast and can sometimes make us feel insignificant. But Psalm 8 assures us we are significant - the same majestic God who created the night's sky also created man and cares for each one of us.

Genesis 1:16

16 And God made the two great lights—the greater light to rule the day and the lesser light to rule the night—and the stars.

(ESV)

Isaiah 40:26

26   Lift up your eyes on high and see:
    who created these?
  He who brings out their host by number,
    calling them all by name;
  by the greatness of his might
    and because he is strong in power,
    not one is missing.

(ESV)

Psalm 8

How Majestic Is Your Name

To the choirmaster: according to The Gittith.¹ A Psalm of David.

8:1   O LORD, our Lord,
    how majestic is your name in all the earth!
  You have set your glory above the heavens.
2     Out of the mouth of babies and infants,
  you have established strength because of your foes,
    to still the enemy and the avenger.
3   When I look at your heavens, the work of your fingers,
    the moon and the stars, which you have set in place,
4   what is man that you are mindful of him,
    and the son of man that you care for him?
5   Yet you have made him a little lower than the heavenly beings²
    and crowned him with glory and honor.
6   You have given him dominion over the works of your hands;
    you have put all things under his feet,
7   all sheep and oxen,
    and also the beasts of the field,
8   the birds of the heavens, and the fish of the sea,
    whatever passes along the paths of the seas.
9   O LORD, our Lord,
    how majestic is your name in all the earth!
