Psalm 8God’s Glory and dignity of the person

Never more so than today, due to the progress of scienceUniverse reveals to mankind

The Greatness and Beauty of God. But the Son of God in becoming a person,

has placed human kind above all material creation, And emphasized the fundamental equality of all people.

¡O Lord, our Lord,

how awesome is your namethrough all the earth!

I will sing of your majestyabove the heavens!

with the mouths of babes and infants.

You have established a bulwarkagainst your foes,

to silence enemy and avenger.

When I see your heavens,the work of your fingers,

the moon and stars that you set in place

¿What is man that you are

mindful of him,?

¿and a son of manthat you care

for him?

Yetyou havemade himlittle less

thana god,

CrownedHimWithgloryAnd

honor.

YouHavegivenHim

rule over

the works of your hands,

put all things at his feet:

All sheep and oxen,

Eventhe beasts

ofthe field,

The birds of the air,

the fish of the sea,

and whatever swimsthe paths of the seas.

¡O Lord, our Lord,

how awesome is your namethrough all the earth!
