The Glory of the Lord in Creation

To the Chief Musician. On the instrument of Gath. A Psalm of David.

1 O Lord, our Lord,
How aexcellent is Your name in all the earth,
Who have bset Your glory above the heavens! 
2 aOut of the mouth of babes and nursing infants
You have1 ordained strength,
Because of Your enemies,
That You may silence bthe enemy and the avenger. 
3 When I aconsider Your heavens, the work of Your fingers,
The moon and the stars, which You have ordained, 
4 aWhat is man that You are mindful of him,
And the son of man that You bvisit him? 
5 For You have made him a little lower than1 the angels,
And You have crowned him with glory and honor. 
6 aYou have made him to have dominion over the works of Your hands;
bYou have put all things under his feet, 
7 All sheep and oxen—
Even the beasts of the field,
8 The birds of the air,
And the fish of the sea
That pass through the paths of the seas.
9 aO Lord, our Lord,
How excellent is Your name in all the earth!

Psalms 8:1

In - Not only in Israel, but among all nations. Which shews that this psalm speaks of the Messiah, and the times of the New Testament. Heavens - Where thy throne of glory is established, where the blessed angels celebrate thy praises, where Christ sitteth at thy right hand in glorious majesty, from whence he poureth down excellent gifts upon babes.
