Sublime

God is the hero of the story.

our God is a God of detail.

In God’s economy, everyone benefits by everyone contributing.

Psalm 8, David marvels at God’s creation and the fact that man is given dominion over it.

God’s rules aren’t about diminishing their joy and freedom but about increasing it.

their leaders are supposed to make decisions by consulting with God.

Third, it’s about drawing near.

God doesn’t stand for a leader who is doing things his own way, disregarding the good of the people, betraying the God of the universe, and seeking selfish gain.

These seven psalms are among the fifteen chapters known as the Songs of Ascent.
