Comment – In this psalm 8 the author expresses his wonder towards the power of God, for having created the earth and all that it contains, feeling small compared to the moon and the stars.
Psalm 8 complete
[1] To the choir master. On the song: "I Torchi ...". Psalm. Di Davide.
[2] O Lord our God, how great is your name on all the earth: above your heavens your magnificence rises.
[3] With the mouths of babies and infants you affirm your power against your adversaries, to silence enemies and rebels.
[4] If I look at your sky, the work of your fingers, the moon and the stars that you have set,
[5] what is man because you remember him and the son of man because you care for him?
[6] Yet you did it little less than the angels, crowned it with glory and honor:
[7] you have given him power over the works of your hands, you have placed everything under his feet;
[8] all the flocks and herds, all the beasts of the countryside;
[9] The birds of the sky and the fish of the sea, which travel the paths of the sea.
[10] O Lord our God, how great is your name on all the earth.
