Crowned With Glory

Name Date

Read and Think

The title of Psalm 8 says it is for the Chief Musician, on an instrument of Gath, and that it is a Psalm by David. The psalm begins and ends with the same words of praise: Yahweh, our Lord, how majestic is your name in all the earth! God has set his glory above the heavens.

David says that from the lips of babes and infants God has established strength. Then he considers the heavens, the work of God's fingers, the moon and the stars that God has ordained. Compared to all that, people seem small. David asks, What is man, that you think of him? What is the son of man, that you care for him?

The answer is amazing. God made man a little lower than the angels and crowned him with glory and honor. He made him ruler over the works of his hands: sheep and cattle, animals of the field, birds of the sky, and fish of the sea. People are small, but God cares for them and gives them an important job.

The Son of Man

Name Date

Read and Think

Psalm 8's title reads: For the Chief Musician; on an instrument of Gath. A Psalm by David. The psalm is framed by the same line at the beginning and end: Yahweh, our Lord, how majestic is your name in all the earth! Everything in between shows why God's name is majestic. In the New Testament, Jesus quotes verse 2 when children praise him in the temple (Matthew 21:16).

David considers the heavens, the work of God's fingers, the moon and the stars. The picture is striking: the vast sky is only finger-work for God. Against that backdrop David asks, What is man, that you think of him? What is the son of man, that you care for him? The psalm answers that God made him a little lower than the angels and crowned him with glory and honor, echoing Genesis 1, where humans are made in God's image and given dominion.

God made man ruler over the works of his hands and put all things under his feet: sheep and cattle, animals of the field, birds, fish, and whatever passes through the paths of the seas. In the New Testament, Hebrews 2:6-9 quotes this psalm and says that we do not yet see all things subjected to man, but we see Jesus, crowned with glory and honor.
