A Prayer of Human Dignity based on Psalm 8

This prayer based on Psalm 8 praises God for granting us human dignity as His children.

Based on Psalm 8

God, your name is above all other names,
Majestic over all of the earth.
Even children know they should praise you.

For you created the heavens and the earth and all living creatures.
You set the moon and the stars in the night sky.

We are small compared to you.
Why do you care about us so much?

Even so, you have made us your sons and daughters.
We are created in your image.
You have clothed us in dignity.

Your glory shines through us.

Amen.
