Note two repeating themes: 1) the heavens (vs. 1 and vs. 3) and humans (infants - vs. 2 and "man" - vs. 4-8) The theme of the Psalm is the majestic name of God. And it seems David is attempting to describe the majesty of God by posing the question or by stating the unbelievable thought that God, though His glory is above the heavens, has set His heart on man -- on infants - nursing babes. God's glory is revealed in his condescending relationship with humans. Vs. 2b-2c explain why: it has something to do with the enemy. God's enemies accuse us in our weakness. His enemies speak of how weak we are. God has ordained praise from the weak - that silences the enemy and it brings honor to Him -- He is glorified by coming to the aid of the weak. And the enemy, who says we are nothing, is silenced because God has established that it is not through the mighty, the wonderful, the glorious, but through the nursing babes that we are, that He will be praised.

Psalms 8:1-9

OT

esv

For the choir director; on the Gittith. A Psalm of David.

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

O LORD, our Lord, How majestic is Your name in all the earth,

O LORD, our Lord, how majestic is your name in all the earth!

Who have displayed Your splendor above the heavens!

You have set your glory above the heavens.

From the mouth of infants and nursing babes You have established strength

(yet) Out of the mouth of babies and infants, you have established strength

Because of Your adversaries,

because of your foes,

ground

To make the enemy and the revengeful cease.

to still the enemy and the avenger.

concessive

When I consider Your heavens, the work of Your fingers, The moon and the stars, which You have ordained;

When I look at your heavens, the work of your fingers, the moon and the stars, which you have set in place,

What is man that You take thought of him,

(and in contrast I think) what is man that you are mindful of him,

And the son of man that You care for him?

and the son of man that you care for him?

series

Yet You have made him a little lower than God,

Yet you have made him a little lower than the heavenly beings

And You crown him with glory and majesty!

and crowned him with glory and honor.

You make him to rule over the works of Your hands;

You have given him dominion over the works of your hands;

You have put all things under his feet,

you have put all things under his feet,

All sheep and oxen, And also the beasts of the field, The birds of the heavens and the fish of the sea, Whatever passes through the paths of the seas.

all sheep and oxen, and also the beasts of the field, the birds of the heavens, and the fish of the sea, whatever passes along the paths of the seas.
