📚 About this Book
✦ Chapter Overview

The psalmist reflects on his own smallness compared to God's greatness, asking how he can hide from the Lord's gaze. He marvels at the sun, moon, and stars, seeing that they are made for his benefit, and declares that all is God's work. The chapter teaches that human life is fleeting while God's power endures forever.
