Sažetak
Ps 8 is important because it asks the fundamental biblical question: what is man? and gives an answer to it: man is at the same time great and small. In respect of his place in the universe man is really small, but with respect to »God's memory« (zkr) and »God's care« (pqd) man is placed very highly — he is a little bit smaller than God. Man is great because of God's love that has elevated him highly. Man's relationship towards the earth and the creation should come out of the knowledge that he is the child of God's love and that he should be open towards his Creator in gratitude, and towards the creation in the openness of God's love that he should pass it over to the creation. In this spirit and Francis from Assisi in his canticle understood completely the deepness of the message of this psalm.
