Key verse: 1
NIV
chapter 8
1. [For the director of music. According to gittith. A psalm of David.] Lord, our Lord, how majestic is your name in all the earth! You have set your glory in the heavens.
2. Through the praise of children and infants you have established a stronghold against your enemies, to silence the foe and the avenger.
3. When I consider your heavens, the work of your fingers, the moon and the stars, which you have set in place,
4. what is mankind that you are mindful of them, human beings that you care for them?
5. You have made them a little lower than the angels and crowned them with glory and honor.
6. You made them rulers over the works of your hands; you put everything under their feet:
7. all flocks and herds, and the animals of the wild,
8. the birds in the sky, and the fish in the sea, all that swim the paths of the seas.
9. Lord, our Lord, how majestic is your name in all the earth!

When Jesus healed the lame and the blind in the temple, the children and the religious leaders saw the wonderful things Jesus did. The children were shouting in the temple court, but the religious leaders were questioned. Jesus said to them, “Have you never read? ‘From the lips of children and infants you, Lord, have called forth your praise?’” (Mt 21:12-17).
Are you seeing God’s glory through nature like David and the children? Romans 1:20 says, “For since the creation of the world God’s invisible qualities… have been clearly seen… so that people are without excuse.”
Prayer: May God open our eyes and humble us to see His eternal power and divine nature. And let’s open our lips and praise Him.
One Word: “How majestic is your name!”
