Through the Psalms pt. 2 (4 of 5)
There's Power in His Name

Psalms 8:1
It's clear to me that the more time I spend in the Bible, the more the Bible gives back to me.

He further writes, "He addresses himself to God with all humility and reverence, as the Lord and his people's Lord." The Pulpit Commentary shares, "Ps. VIII is altogether a psalm of praise and thanksgiving. Its primary idea is the condescending love and goodness of God towards man. That God, who had made the heavens, and set his glory on them, should have a regard for man, and "visit him," and not only so, but give him so lofty a position, so exalted a destiny, is a thought that is well-nigh overwhelming." This Psalm speaks to the dealing of God with man and how God has set some things in place. The verse says His name is excellent in all the earth, and His glory is abov ...
