Psalm 8
Hmm, once again some funny words in the prescript - "Gittith." Sounds like something from the King James times. "If you sinneth, you will gittith some judgment." The Bible dictionary is rather clueless although it tries to cover that up. "An instrument, or else a tune invented in Gath. . . Others take it from garb, "a winepress," being used on occassions of joy like the vintage." Are we back to yesterday's post?
Moving onto to the text. It is a joyous psalm and the source of one of the most often quoted passages even if people don't realize it. "(Psa 8:2 NRS) Out of the mouths of babes and infants you have founded a bulwark because of your foes, to silence the enemy and the avenger." God has used the weakest to foil the plots of the enemy.
We are nothing in God's sight and yet God has given us so much -- a world to care for and a relationship with God almighty. Blows the mind! On days when we don't feel like much, when life presses down, remember the God who made everything, loves humans and wants us to rejoice!
