A Psalm and A Prayer
Psalm 8

Psalm 8

Leader: O Lord, our Sovereign, how majestic is your name in all the earth! You have set your glory above the heavens.

People: When I look at your heavens, the work of your fingers, the moon and the stars that you have established; what are human beings that you are mindful of them, mortals that you care for them?

Leader: Yet you have made them a little lower than God, and crowned them with glory and honor. You have given them dominion over the works of your hands. You have put all things under their feet.

People: O Lord, our Sovereign, how majestic is your name in all the earth! You have set your glory above the heavens!

Heavenly Father, we honor You as the Great Creator, the Lord of the universe, and the Ruler over all. You reign far above us; and yet, You have invited us into Your family. You have told us to come to You as our Heavenly Father. We stand amazed, O Lord, that You care for us. We give You thanks for putting a portion of Your wonderful creation into our hands. Help us take our rightful place as Your children. Help us care for all You have made with a mind and heart aligned with Your purposes. Help us pray and intercede for others as Jesus taught us to pray: “Our Father. . .”
