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? 

Psalm 8:3,4

Where do you think man sits in the created order of things? How does that challenge how you think about yourself?

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?

Lord, our Lord,
    how majestic is your name in all the earth! Psalm 8:1

What does the majesty of God look like in your mind’s eye?

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

How much time do you spend in prayer asking God to relent in His judgment over our nation? What do you think will happen if He does not?

My shield^[d] is God Most High,
    who saves the upright in heart.
¹¹ God is a righteous judge,
    a God who displays his wrath every day. Psalm 7:10,11

Do you see the wrath of God displayed everyday? In what way?

Bring to an end the violence of the wicked
    and make the righteous secure—
you, the righteous God
    who probes minds and hearts. Psalm 7:9

How does knowing God probes your mind and heart change your thinking and attitudes?

Vindicate me, Lord, according to my righteousness,
    according to my integrity, O Most High. Psalm 7:8

Is this a prayer you would feel comfortable praying? Why or why not?
