'O Jehovah, our Lord, how excellent is thy name in all the earth!' Out of the mouth of babes strength is established; the moon and stars are the work of his fingers. 'What is man, that thou art mindful of him?', made but little lower than God, crowned with glory and honor, given dominion over the works of his hands. Hebrews 2 reads the psalm of the Son of man; Jesus quotes verse 2 in the temple.
