In terms of esoteric significance, this is my most favorite
book of Psalms. A serious seeker (of knowledge) will pay particular attention
to the verses 4 to 6. To me, this is the most awesome proclamation of the great
relationship that exists between God and Man.
1 O LORD, our Lord, how majestic is your name in all the
earth! You have set your glory above the heavens.
2 From the lips of children and infants you have ordained
praise because of your enemies, to silence the foe and the avenger.
3 When I consider your heavens, the work of your fingers,
the moon and the stars, which you have set in place,
4 what is man that you are mindful of him, the son of man
that you care for him?
5 You made him a little lower than the heavenly beings and
crowned him with glory and honor.
6 You made him ruler over the works of your hands; you put
everything under his feet:
7 all flocks and herds, and the beasts of the field,
8 the birds of the air, and the fish of the sea, all that
swim the paths of the seas.
9 O LORD, our Lord, how majestic is your name in all the
earth!
