Psalm 8:1-2

John Nunnikhoven

To the choirmaster: according to The Gittith. A Psalm of David. O LORD, our Lord, how majestic is your name in all the earth! You have set your glory above the heavens. Out of the mouth of babies and infants, you have established strength because of your foes, to still the enemy and the avenger.

“How majestic is Your name in all the earth” “Majestic” Bringing forth images of pomp and circumstance, royal splendor, jewels and gold, redolent with the aromas of many incenses, intense color and light, the sounds of countless saints singing praise, the blare of trumpets and the clash of cymbals, the mountains dancing for joy and the oceans tossing their waves in response, lightening and thunder. A superlatively intense display invoking all the emotions and sense. “Majestic” Yet with an overriding sense of being in the presence of the LORD God Almighty. Pressing awe and the crushing weight of His glory.
