Psalm 8:1
“O Lord our Lord, how excellent is thy name in all the earth! who hast set thy glory above the heavens.”
KJV
Read in Psalm 8Meaning
Psalm 8:1 establishes worship as the controlling frame for everything that follows.
Majesty and unexpected praise
The hymn opens with God’s glory and strength voiced through the weak.
Read carefully
Praise begins with God’s name and glory rather than human achievement.
Reflection
Use the created world as a prompt for worship without treating creation itself as divine.
