This episode, we've got Psalm number eight. This is a of course a

Psalm with David. Yeah it's a it's a short Psalm but it's important for a number

reasons it's one of these Psalms I like to describe these Psalms as forward and backward looking so they look back to creation as we'll see in just a second, but they also look forward to the new creation we have in Christ.

And this song in particular is significant

because it gets quoted at length in Hebrew chapter 2

in which he, in a rather unexpected sort of way applies what initially seemed like it was a

psalm about Adam and humanity in general he the author of Hebrews applies it

specifically then to Christ as the last Adam as the the man in whom we have a new creation.

So it's only non verses. This read through the entire

Psalm and then we'll quickly work away through it. Oh Lord Our Lord,

how majestic is your name in all the earth.

You have set your glory above the heavens, out of the mouths of babies and infants, you have

established strength because of your foes, to steal the enemy and the avenger. When I look to the heavens, the work of your

fingers, the moon and the stars which you have made, what is man that you are mindful of him,

the son of man that you care for him.

Yet you have made him a little lower than the heavenly beings and crown him with glory
