Psalm 8

In Psalm 8, David contemplates the wonders of creation and examines how that man is a special creation made in the image of God. While aspects of this image were lost in the Fall, God has nevertheless redeemed His elect family out of the fallen human race by raising up another man, Christ Jesus the Lord, who has and will ultimately demonstrate dominion upon all the earth. As shown by the New Testament (Heb 2; 1 Cor 15), Psalm 8 is a Messianic Psalm ultimately pointing to the revealed glory of Christ with His People in the resurrection.
