Vineyard Worship - Psalm 8 Lyrics
Lyrics
Oh Lord, our Lord
How majestic is Your name
In all the earth, in all the earth
You've made Your glory above the heavens
And from the children brought praise
And when I consider the moon and the stars
I am so amazed, I am filled with praise to You Lord
Oh Lord, our Lord
How majestic is Your name
In all the earth, in all the earth
You've made Your glory above the heavens
And from the children brought praise
And when I consider the moon and the stars
I am so amazed, I am filled with praise to You Lord

Psalm 8 (Live)
Meaning & Inspiration
Vineyard Worship's "Psalm 8 (Live)," released on February 7, 2025, offers a profound musical meditation on the eighth Psalm, an ancient Hebrew poem of awe and adoration. This rendition masterfully captures the Psalmist's wonder at the vastness of God's creation and His deliberate, yet seemingly humble, placement of humanity within it. The song's genesis lies in the scriptural text itself, a prayer that begins with a declarative statement of God's immense glory and the overwhelming majesty of His name, proclaimed not just by the celestial bodies but, remarkably, through the mouths of babes. This intentional contrast, highlighting the most innocent voices raised in worship, underscores a central theme: that God’s glory is so pervasive and powerful that even the weakest are empowered to declare it.
The core message of "Psalm 8" resonates deeply with the biblical narrative of creation and humanity's place within it. As the lyrics unfold, the contemplation of the celestial expanse—the moon and stars—serves as a potent catalyst for amazement. This echoes the sentiment found in Genesis 1, where the creation account emphasizes the ordered beauty and divine intention behind the cosmos. The Psalmist, and by extension Vineyard Worship, marvels that the Creator of such immensity would also be mindful of humanity, as David himself wrote in Psalm 144:3, "O Lord, what is man, that you regard him, or the son of man, that you think of him?" The song beautifully translates this theological wonder into a personal experience of being "filled with praise." It’s a journey from observing the grandeur of the heavens to recognizing the personal significance and divine appointment of humankind, as alluded to in Psalm 8:4-6, where man is made "a little lower than the angels" and crowned with glory and honor, given dominion over God's handiwork. This earthly dominion, however, is presented not as a license for exploitation but as a sacred trust, a responsibility born out of God's loving provision. The song’s consistent refrain, "How majestic is Your name," acts as an anchor, reminding the listener that all creation, all human experience, and all of God's actions ultimately point to His supreme and unparalleled grandeur, a truth foundational to entire biblical faith, as evidenced in countless passages like Isaiah 6:3 where the seraphim cry, "Holy, holy, holy is the Lord of hosts; the whole earth is full of his glory!" Vineyard Worship’s "Psalm 8 (Live)" thus invites listeners not just to hear a song, but to participate in a timeless act of worship, a heartfelt response to the overwhelming evidence of God's majesty revealed in creation and His profound love for humanity.
