Guiding Questions: Psalms 8

Exploring Judaism

This is part of the Tanakh Yomi Project.

What theological principle is enunciated in Psalms 8:2 regarding the provenance of God’s domain?
According to Psalms 8:4-5, what is the impact of nature upon the observer?
Does Psalms 8:5 imply a demeaning of humanity or, rather, the need for it to recognize its place in a vast panoply of creation?
In what part of the liturgy does Psalms 8:5 appear?
And, in Psalms 8:6, in spite of the fact that humanity may be a speck, how has it been treated by Divinity (and in the thought continued in Psalms 8:7)?
Does this particular Psalm evidence any other thought but praise of God’s omnipotence?
