Psalm 8
Majestic Love of God
Majesty points to the sovereignty, greatness, and power of God. In verses 1-3, David praises the Lord for His majesty! What great power belongs to our God! He IS power! When considering His greatness, human beings seem rather insignificant. But, according to Almighty God, that is far from the truth. The Maker of heaven and earth found favor in us…enough to make us “a little lower than the heavenly beings,” to crown us with glory and honor, and to give us rule over things on earth (vs. 5-8). Because of His majestic and unconditional love and grace, David cannot help but praise Him! He opens and closes with the same declaration of praise: “O LORD, our Lord, how majestic is Your Name in all the earth!” (Psalm 8:1,9)
