Early Morning

The sun rises later here than I am used to. One morning a few days ago, I was completely mesmerized by how beautiful the moon was in the slowly lightening sky. Truly amazing!

Psalm 8

O LORD, our Lord,

how majestic is your name in all

the earth!

You have set your glory about the

heavens.

Our of the mouth of babies and

infants,

you have established strength because

of your foes,

to still the enemy and the avenger.

When I look at your heavens, the

work of your fingers,

the moon and the stars, which you

have set in place,

what is man that you are mindful of

him,

and the son of man that you care

for him?

Yet you have made him a little lower

than the heavenly beings

and crowned him with glory and

honor.

You have given him dominion over

the works of your hands;

you have put all things under his

feet,

all sheep and oxen,

and also the beasts of the field,

the birds of the heavens, and the fish

of the sea,

whatever passes along the paths of

the seas.

O LORD, our Lord,

how majestic is your name in all the

earth!
