Psalm 8:3
“When I consider thy heavens, the work of thy fingers, the moon and the stars, which thou hast ordained;”
KJV
Read in Psalm 8Meaning
Psalm 8:3 shifts from praise to contemplative attention to the night sky.
Cosmic wonder and human smallness
Contemplation of the heavens raises the question of human significance.
Read carefully
Wonder grows through attentive observation of creation.
Reflection
Let scientific knowledge and reverent wonder coexist rather than compete.
