O Lord, our Lord, how excellent
Thy name in all the earth!
Let every people, tribe, and tongue
Proclaim its boundless worth.
Out of the mouth of little ones
Thou hast established praise,
That Thou may still Thine enemy
And swiftly end his days.

When we the universe behold,
The work of Thy great hand—
The moon and stars which Thou ordained
By lofty wisdom planned;
O what is man that Thou should’st care
That Thou should’st mindful be?
The son of man Thou visitest
In Thine economy.

O Jesus Lord, Thou art that man,
The One who joined our race,
Who put upon Himself the flesh
And took a lower place.
But now with glory Thou art crowned,
With sovereignty complete.
Now through Thy Body Thou dost rule
With all beneath Thy feet.

And Thy transcendency,

And Body here we see.

Our joyful voice we raise.

All tongues these words shall peal!
But in the local churches now
We have a foretaste real.

Amen brother Frank. Yes we need to realize that we have a hymn that was inspired by Pslam 8

I have been reading through the Psalms recently, and when I came to Psalm 8, I realized that we have a hymn, written by John Ingalls back in the 1960s, that echoes the words of this Psalm so closely. It is really an inspired hymn.
Read the lyrics of this beautiful hymn, and see how closely they follow the words of Psalm 8, especially in first two verses of the hymn. But then in verses 3-5 of the hymn, he jumps to the New Testament and applies it all to Jesus Christ and his finished work.
"O Jehovah our Lord, / How excellent is Your name / In all the earth, / You who have set Your glory over the heavens!
Out of the mouths of babes and sucklings / You have established strength / Because of Your adversaries, / To stop the enemy and the avenger."
"When I see Your heavens, the works of Your fingers, / The moon and the stars, which You have ordained,
What is mortal man, that You remember him, / And the son of man, that You visit him?
You have made Him a little lower than angels / And have crowned Him with glory and honor."
"For You have caused Him to rule over the works of Your hands; / You have put all things under His feet:
All sheep and oxen, / As well as the beasts of the field,
The birds of heaven and the fish of the sea, / Whatever passes through the paths of the seas.
O Jehovah our Lord, / How excellent is Your name / In all the earth!"

Amazing hymn👍😆
To Recover the Earth
God wants to regain the earth. The earth has become a crucial place, a place that Satan wants to hold and a place that God wants to regain. The battle is over the earth. Whoever gains the earth is the winner. If Satan can keep the earth under his hand, he has the victory. If God can regain the earth, He will have the victory. The Lord Jesus has not returned because the earth is still so much under Satan’s usurping. This is why God needs the church. The church must fight the battle to regain the earth, if not the whole earth, at least some stepping stones, some outpost for the Lord Jesus to put His feet upon. The earth is crucial.
This point has been fully proved by Psalm 8. Psalm 8 begins by saying, “O Lord, our Lord, how excellent is thy name in all the earth! ” It also ends the same way. There is no doubt that the Lord’s name is excellent in the heavens, but, in a sense, the name of the Lord is not excellent on this earth. His name is not excellent among so many of the fallen people. We need to pray, “Your name be sanctified” (Matt. 6:9). Oh, the Lord’s name must be sanctified on this earth. The problem is not in the heavens; the problem is here on earth.
