The value of humans

1Lord, our Lord,

how majestic is your name in all the earth!

You have set your glory

in the heavens.

2Through the praise of children and infants

you have established a stronghold against your enemies,

to silence the foe and the avenger.

3When I consider your heavens,

the work of your fingers,

the moon and the stars,

which you have set in place,

4what is mankind that you are mindful of them,

human beings that you care for them?

5You have made them a little lower than the angels

and crowned them with glory and honor.

6You made them rulers over the works of your hands;

you put everything under their feet:

7all flocks and herds,

and the animals of the wild,

8the birds in the sky,

and the fish in the sea,

all that swim the paths of the seas.

9Lord, our Lord,

how majestic is your name in all the earth!

How do you know you have worth ?

When we look at the marvels of creation, we wonder how God could be concerned for people who constantly disappoint Him. Yet God created us only a little lower than the angels. The next time you question your worth as a person or feel down about yourself, remember that God considered you to be highly valuable. We have great worth because we bear the stamp of the creator. Because God has already declared how valuable you are to Him, you can be set free from feelings of worthlessness.
