I will tell of all your wonderful deeds. Psalm 9:1

Morning Direction From Scripture 6-8-16
Lord, our Lord,
how majestic is your name in all the earth!
You have set your glory
in the heavens.
2 Through the praise of children and infants
you have established a stronghold against your enemies,
to silence the foe and the avenger.
3 When I consider your heavens,
the work of your fingers,
the moon and the stars,
which you have set in place,
4 what is mankind that you are mindful of them,
human beings that you care for them?[c]
5 You have made them[d] a little lower than the angels[e]
and crowned them[f] with glory and honor.
6 You made them rulers over the works of your hands;
you put everything under their[g] feet:
7 all flocks and herds,
and the animals of the wild,
8 the birds in the sky,
and the fish in the sea,
all that swim the paths of the seas.
9 Lord, our Lord,
how majestic is your name in all the earth! Psalm 8
Why do you think this Psalm about the greatness of man begins and ends with praise to God?

Is the description in verse 6-8 a future thing or a now thing? What does that mean for now? What does that mean for the future?

You have set your glory
in the heavens.
2 Through the praise of children and infants
you have established a stronghold against your enemies,
to silence the foe and the avenger. Psalm 8:1,2
There is glory in the Heavens that cannot silence the foe and the avenger. Yet the praise of infants and children can. Why do you think that is possible?

Evening Meditation 6-5-16
Whoever is pregnant with evil
conceives trouble and gives birth to disillusionment.
15 Whoever digs a hole and scoops it out
falls into the pit they have made.
16 The trouble they cause recoils on them;
their violence comes down on their own heads. Psalm 7:14-16
Why then do we spend so much time fretting over evil people?

If he does not relent,
he[e] will sharpen his sword;
he will bend and string his bow.
13 He has prepared his deadly weapons;
he makes ready his flaming arrows. Psalm 7: 12,13
