Psalm 8

(A psalm by David for the music leader.[a])

The Wonderful Name of the Lord

1 Our Lord and Ruler,
your name is wonderful
    everywhere on earth!
You let your glory be seen[b]
    in the heavens above.
2 (A) With praises from children
and from tiny infants,
    you have built a fortress.
It makes your enemies silent,
and all who turn against you
    are left speechless.

3 I often think of the heavens
    your hands have made,
and of the moon and stars
    you put in place.
4 (B) Then I ask, “Why do you care
    about us humans?
Why are you concerned
    for us weaklings?”
5 (C) You made us a little lower
    than you yourself,[c]
and you have crowned us
    with glory and honor.

6 (D) You let us rule everything
    your hands have made.
And you put all of it
    under our power—
7 the sheep and the cattle,
    and every wild animal,
8 the birds in the sky,
the fish in the sea,
    and all ocean creatures.

9 Our Lord and Ruler,
your name is wonderful
    everywhere on earth!

Proverbs 3:13-18

The Value of Wisdom

13 God blesses everyone
who has wisdom
    and common sense.
14 Wisdom is worth more
    than silver;
it makes you much richer
    than gold.
15 Wisdom is more valuable
    than precious jewels;
nothing you want
    compares with her.

16 In her right hand
    Wisdom holds a long life,
and in her left hand
    are wealth and honor.
17 Wisdom makes life pleasant
    and leads us safely along.
18 Wisdom is a life-giving tree,
the source of happiness
    for all who hold on to her.

Ephesians 1:17-19

17 I ask the glorious Father and God of our Lord Jesus Christ to give you his Spirit. The Spirit will make you wise and let you understand what it means to know God. 18 My prayer is that light will flood your hearts and you will understand the hope given to you when God chose you. Then you will discover the glorious blessings that will be yours together with all God's people.

19 I want you to know about the great and mighty power that God has for us followers. It is the same wonderful power he used
