The glory of God and the honor of man

If we start reading chapter 8 of the book of Psalms we will find David praising and glorifying God for all His wonders, everything He has created, everything He has done on earth, the fish of the sea, the stars and everything what exists around us.

When I consider your heavens,
the work of your fingers,
the moon and the stars,
which you have set in place,

Psalm 8:3

When we see the heavens, the earth, the trees when they move, the birds of the heavens, the beasts of the field, how can we say that there is no God? Even seeing their wonders we become ignorant and say that everything came out of nothing.

Only one is the creator of all things, all we see was created with His hands, God is real, and that is why the psalmist David cheers God with joy exalting His name forever and ever.

What is mankind that you are mindful of them,
human beings that you care for them?

Psalm 8:4

We can never believe that the glory belongs to us, because God does not share His glory with men, but He manifested His glory and made it visible to all through His wonders and everything created by Him.

But we can also see that God honors man, and in what way God honors man, He does it when He recognizes him and when He gives him His love.

You have made them a little lower than the angels
and crowned them with glory and honor.

Psalm 8:5

Let us remember that the psalmist David, before being king, was a shepherd of sheeps, but he never thought that God had chosen him to be king, and it is for this reason that he finds himself and sees everything created and the beauty made by almighty God.

...
God will never let the righteous be shaken
God does not see like us
