Psalm 8

Psalm 8 is the seventh song of the first act of the musical, Alan Menken & Tim Rice's King David and the fourth song of the first act of the cast album.

David: Lord how Your name shines in glory In and above all the earth Out of the mouths of Mere babes, very sucklings Your strength will flow, Thus we grow Confounding your enemies Right from our moment of birth.

When I consider Your heavens, The universe You have ordained Why would creation of man be of Any concern to You? Only through Love can this be understood And through mercy explained

And man is made no small thing, And whether slave or king He is with honor crowned by God He is allowed control and command of the whole Of the works of Your hand, Lord

Lord how your name shines in glory In and above all the earth Human afflictions And petty distractions We must ignore Rage no more Peace comes to those who believe God has faith in their worth
