Psalm 8:4-6
What are people that You should think about them, mere mortals that You should care for them? Yet You made them only a little lower than God (Elohim) and crowned them with glory and honor. You gave them charge of everything You made, putting all things under their authority.
Compared to the Moon and Stars, we are as nothing, clods of dust, blown away by the breeze. Yet You have made us just a little lower than Elohim, and in such a high position, You have crowned us with honor and glory befitting this exalted rank.
You are refining us here on this Earth, teaching us to care for and use everything else You have put here in this World; and, like little schoolchildren, we stumble and scrape our knees and elbows, we fall and break bones. But You heal us, You lift us up so we won't utterly fall, and strengthen us to continue on, to learn all that You have to teach us, little by little, line upon line, day by day; until that glorious Day when Christ will return and we will have matured enough to wear well the honor and glory You crown us with, to return to Your own head, for You alone deserve all the credit, all the honor and glory for what You have done.
Even so, come, Lord Jesus!
