Psalm 8: The Song of the Image of God

The Woven Psalms

“O LORD, our Lord, how majestic is your name in all the earth!” (Psalm 8:1)
The Psalms are about God; they are prayers and songs meant to guide our hearts in worship to the Creator and Savior. Yet the Psalms are also about us; they explore the human experience, they demonstrate the depth and breadth of human emotion, they show us the role of human beings. The Psalms ask, “Who are we? What is our place in the world? How should we live?” It is good to read the Psalms in order to ponder the greatness of God, and it is also good to read the Psalms in order to ponder ourselves in a relationship with God.
The Woven Psalms is a reflective, unhurried, and practical podcast about praying every psalm in the Bible. This podcast is a ministry of Rock Hill Community Church in Duluth, MN. You can learn more about our work at www.wovenpsalms.com.
