====from Psalm 8====
 
How great is your name, O Lord our God,
 
through all the earth!
 
Your majesty is praised above the heavens;
 
on the lips of children and of babes.
 
 
When I see the heavens, the work of your hands,
 
the moon and the stars which you arranged,
 
what are we that you should keep us in mind,
 
mere mortals that you care for us?
 
 
You gave us power over the work of your hands,
 
put all things under our feet.
 
All of them, sheep and cattle,
 
yes, even the savage beasts,
 
birds of the air, and fish
 
that make their way through the waters.
 
 
How great is your name, O Lord our God,
 
through all the earth!

Now the LORD said to Abram, “Go from your country and your kindred and your father’s house to the land that I will show you. I will make of you a great nation, and I will bless you, and make your name great, so that you will be a blessing. I will bless those who bless you (...) and in you all the families of the earth shall be blessed.” So Abram went, as the LORD had told him; and Lot went with him. Abram was seventy-five years old when he departed from Haran.
