# Living Psalm 8_Jordan for Trinity Sunday, June 4, 2023

YHWH, our Sovereign, how majestic is your Name in all the earth!
Your name is heard in the melodic hum of the songbird; it reverberates in the sweet whispers of a mother “kissing it and making it better.” 

You have placed your glory above the heavens! From the lips of infants and children
you bring forth words of power and praise.
The youngest heart sings of your goodness! From the lips of our youth, the truth of your love can be known.

When I behold your heavens, the work of your fingers, the moon and the stars which you set in place. What is humanity that you should be mindful of us? Who are we that you should care for us?
I am amazed by your love. I am humbled by your care. I am empowered by your purpose. 

You have made us barely less than God, and crowned us with glory and honor. You have made us responsible for the works of your hands. 
Your plan is for our power, but that power comes with a purpose. There is work for us to do. We are blessed to be a blessing. We are loved that we might share your love with others. 

YHWH, our Sovereign, how majestic is your Name in all the earth!
All praise to God, whose grace is immeasurable and whose love is beyond space and time.
