Psalm 8:1


As David looks on nature, he exclaims that the Lord's name is majestic in all the earth. David addresses God using the Hebrew term YHWH, also known as the tetragrammaton. This is the biblical name of the One True God, the God of Israel. Here, David indicates God is the God of all mankind by virtue of creation. Because this psalm is a hymn addressed to the choirmaster, the ascription, "our Lord," is appropriate for the entire congregation.
