You stumble across a story like this one, announcing that scientists have discovered “the most distant galaxies ever,” and you can’t help but think of David, who put pen to paper and wrote:

When I see your heavens, the work of your fingers, the moon and stars that you set in place–

What is man that you are mindful of him, mere mortals that you care for them?

Yet you have made them little less than a god, crowned them with glory and honor.

You have given them rule over the works of your hands, put all things at their feet:

All sheep and oxen, even the beasts of the field,

The birds of the air, the fish of the sea, and whatever swims the paths of the seas.

O LORD, our Lord, how awesome is your name through all the earth!

Awesome? If only David had been able to use a telescope…
