The beginning of this Psalm just makes my heart sing. It reminds me of the song, ‘How Majestic is your Name,’ that Sandi Patti sang back in the 1980’s. The orchestra, the choir, the vocals – In my opinion, it is a very powerful song that derives its lyrics from this scripture. “O Lord, our Lord, your majestic name fills the earth! Your glory is higher than the heavens.” Many songs have been written over the years using the words of this Psalm as the basis for their lyrics.
Personally I believe that there is power in words. The words we say. The words we sing. When David looks around at the massive landscape and the heavens, he is in absolute awe and he asks the question ‘what are mere mortals that you should care about them’ and yet not only does God care about us, he gave us the responsibility to care for his creation. What an honor. What a privilege. With the beauty and majesty around him, David can’t hep but express his deep gratitude to the Lord. How do you like to express your gratitude and love for the Lord?
O Lord, our Lord, your majestic name fills the earth!
