Psalm 8 is a poem about how majestic God is, and that the whole universe is created by God. This psalm also put man in comparison with the rest of God’s creation, and how God honours man above all His magnificent creations, though He made man a little lower than the angels.
Lord, our Lord, how majestic is your name in all the earth! You have set your glory in the heavens. Through the praise of children and infants you have established a stronghold against your enemies, to silence the foe and the avenger. When I consider your heavens, the work of your fingers, the moon, and the stars, which you have set in place, what is mankind that you are mindful of them, human beings that you care for them [that thou visitest him]? You have made them a little lower than the angels and crowned them with glory and honour. You made them rulers over the works of your hands; you put everything under their feet: all flocks and herds, and the animals of the wild, the birds in the sky, and the fish in the sea, all that swim the paths of the seas. Lord, our Lord, how majestic is your name in all the earth!
The answer to the question posed by the Psalmist about why God cares or visits mankind so much, is because God loves us, and why does God love us so much? This is because God is Selfless. Out of all His creations, God loves us above and beyond any of His creations, so much so that He gave His life for us to redeem us of our sins, our debt. That is LOVE, to give oneself, or life for another, or mankind. That is how Graceful God is. Christ, that name is indeed majestic, at the mention of which every knee in Heaven and on earth, bows.
