La gloire de Dieu dans la création

1 Au chef de chœur, sur la guitthith. Psaume de David. 2 Eternel, notre Seigneur, que ton nom est magnifique sur toute la terre! Ta majesté domine le ciel. 3 Par la bouche des enfants et des nourrissons, tu as fondé ta gloire^[1] pour confondre tes adversaires, pour réduire au silence l'ennemi, l'homme avide de vengeance. (Mt 21:16) 4 Quand je contemple le ciel, œuvre de tes mains, la lune et les étoiles que tu y as placées, 5 je dis: «Qu'est-ce que l'homme, pour que tu te souviennes de lui, et le fils de l'homme, pour que tu prennes soin de lui?» 6 Tu l'as fait de peu inférieur à Dieu et tu l'as couronné de gloire et d'honneur. 7 Tu lui as donné la domination sur ce que tes mains ont fait, tu as tout mis sous ses pieds,^[2] (1Co 15:27; Eph 1:22; Heb 2:6)

1Co 15:27Eph 1:22Heb 2:6

8 les brebis comme les bœufs, et même les animaux sauvages, 9 les oiseaux du ciel et les poissons de la mer, tout ce qui parcourt les sentiers des mers. 10 Eternel, notre Seigneur, que ton nom est magnifique sur toute la terre!
