Episode 18: Feeling small

Like Psalm 104, Psalm 8 is a “creation psalm,” a psalm of praise for the marvels of creation and its Creator. Imagine the psalmist gazing up into the heavens on a clear night, in a day before the perpetual haze of city lights existed. Awed by the vast spectacle of the night sky, the psalmist felt small by comparison—which made the psalmist marvel even more that God would pay attention to human beings.
