Chapter Summary

하나님의 영광이 하늘에 나타난 것을 묵상하는 창조 시편이다. 하나님이 이 연약한 인간을 기억하시느냐고 경이로워하면서도 인간이 하나님의 형상으로 창조되어 모든 피조물을 다스리는 영광스러운 존재임을 선언한다. 「주의 이름이 온 땅에 어찌 그리 아름다운지요」라는 후렴이 시를 감싼다.

1O Lord our Lord, how excellent is thy name in all the earth! who hast set thy glory above the heavens.

2Out of the mouth of babes and sucklings hast thou ordained strength because of thine enemies, that thou mightest still the enemy and the avenger.

3When I consider thy heavens, the work of thy fingers, the moon and the stars, which thou hast ordained;

4What is man, that thou art mindful of him? and the son of man, that thou visitest him?

5For thou hast made him a little lower than the angels, and hast crowned him with glory and honour.

6Thou madest him to have dominion over the works of thy hands; thou hast put all things under his feet:

7All sheep and oxen, yea, and the beasts of the field;

8The fowl of the air, and the fish of the sea, and whatsoever passeth through the paths of the seas.

9O Lord our Lord, how excellent is thy name in all the earth!
