David wrote Psalm 8 as a song of praise to the amazingness of God as Creator and Sustainer (Col. 1:16, 17). The knowledge of God as Creator is so pervasive even animals and inanimate objects are pictured as praising God from their existence (Ps. 148:1-5; Rom. 8:18-22; Rev. 5:13). While humans can create things that haven’t existed before, they just reformulate existing material. However, God is the ultimate Creator who built all things by speaking it into existence from nothing (Gen. 1:3; John 1:3; Heb. 3:4; 11:3). The great Creator created a great creation! The true God—the LORD (Heb. yhwh, ‘self-existent One’)—is spoken of as David’s Lord (Heb. 'âdôn, ‘master, sovereign’). It’s not enough to know about God without wanting to obey God!
