Translation Issues in This Chapter

- The psalm begins and ends with the exact same exclamation - this serves to point out the purpose of the psalm.- The psalm progresses from top to bottom several times. In verse 1b-2 it goes from the heavens down to the weakest of humans. Verses 3-4 again go down from the heavens to man. Verses 5-8 move from the heavenly beings through man, who is exalted and crowned with glory as Yahweh’s representative ruler of all creation and down and out into creation in circles moving away from man’s primary spheres of dominion (domestic animals) progressively outward.- There are many echoes of Genesis 1. References include: the heavens as created by Yahweh’s fingers (verse 3), the animals as made by his hands (verse 6), the dominion of man over creation (verses 6-8, see also Genesis 1:26).- Magnificent, Majesty, Splendor, Glory: Yahweh gives his weak representative (humans) many of his glorious attributes and humans rule for Yahweh.See: writing-poetry
