Psalm eight is a time of joy for the children of Israel. It is a time to sing a new song; it is a new song that celebrates the death of the old song. We all know the old song. It was sung by the serpent in Genesis three. In Genesis one the world was brought into existence by the Trinitarian song, but the sin of Adam caused the song of creation to die. But this psalm sings a song of restoration; a song of hope that the old song is now going to die, so the new song must rise.
