I look up at your macro-skies, dark and enormous, your handmade sky-jewelry, moon and stars mounted in their settings<\/u>.<\/p>\n
Made us lords of sheep and cattle, even animals out in the wild,
Birds flying and fish swimming, whales singing in the ocean deeps.
<\/strong>
O God, brilliant Lord, your name echoes around the world. <\/strong> A God Notice
<\/u><\/em>
Psalm 8 From the Message Bible.
