How Excellent Your Name

I'm currently working on more comic strips. Hopefully once there's enough material, they can be compiled into a collection or book. One of the things that continually inspires me is the same thing that inspired the many psalmists of old: Nature. In fact, one of my favourite psalms is Psalm 19. The first half of the psalm speaks of God's general revelation through nature.

The heavens declare the glory of God,
and the sky above proclaims his handiwork.
Day to day pours out speech,
and night to night reveals knowledge.
- Psalm 19:1,2 ESV -

I've drawn illustrations and a comic on Psalm 19:1 before, so I didn't want to simply do another one. While this comic is partly inspired by Psalm 19, it also draws inspiration from Psalm 8, from which the title is derived:

When I look at your heavens, the work of your fingers,
the moon and the stars, which you have set in place,
what is man that you are mindful of him,
and the son of man that you care for him?
- Psalm 8:3,4 ESV -

O LORD, our Lord,
         How excellent
is Your name in all the earth!
- Psalm 8:9 NKJV -
