In The Image Of God



In The Image Of God
Author: Mark V. Markov

We are
Wonderfully and fearfully made
By Elohim
Our Creator

In the image
In the image of God
In the image
In the image of God

We have spirit, body, soul
We are made
In the image
In the image of God,
The Father, Son, Holy Spirit.

We are placed,
We are placed in charge
Over God's creation here,
Over God's creation on the earth

We are
Wonderfully and fearfully made
By Elohim
Our Creator

In the image
In the image of God
In the image
In the image of God

We have spirit, body, soul
We are made
In the image
In the image of God,
The Father, Son, Holy Spirit...


Psalm 8 (ESV)

English Standard Version

How Majestic Is Your Name

To the choirmaster: according to The Gittith.
 A Psalm of David.

1   O Lord, our Lord,
    how majestic is your name in all the earth!
You have set your glory above the heavens.

2     Out of the mouth of babies and infants,
you have established strength because of your foes,
    to still the enemy and the avenger.

3 When I look at your heavens, the work of your fingers,
    the moon and the stars, which you have set in place,

4 what is man that you are mindful of him,
    and the son of man that you care for him?

5 Yet you have made him a little lower than the heavenly beings[b]
    and crowned him with glory and honor.

6 You have given him dominion over the works of your hands;
    you have put all things under his feet,

7 all sheep and oxen,
    and also the beasts of the field,

8 the birds of the heavens, and the fish of the sea,
    whatever passes along the paths of the seas.

9 O Lord, our Lord,
    how majestic is your name in all the earth!


Psalm 139 1-18 (ESV)

English Standard Version

Search Me, O God, and Know My Heart
To the choirmaster. A Psalm of David.

1 O Lord, you have searched me and known me!

2 You know when I sit down and when I rise up;
    you discern my thoughts from afar.

3 You search out my path and my lying down
    and are acquainted with all my ways.

4 Even before a word is on my tongue,
    behold, O Lord, you know it altogether.

5 You hem me in, behind and before,
    and lay your hand upon me.

6 Such knowledge is too wonderful for me;
    it is high; I cannot attain it.

7 Where shall I go from your Spirit?
    Or where shall I flee from your presence?

8 If I ascend to heaven, you are there!
    If I make my bed in Sheol, you are there!

9 If I take the wings of the morning
    and dwell in the uttermost parts of the sea,

10 even there your hand shall lead me,
    and your right hand shall hold me.

11 If I say, "Surely the darkness shall cover me,
    and the light about me be night,"

12 even the darkness is not dark to you;
    the night is bright as the day,
    for darkness is as light with you.

13 For you formed my inward parts;
    you knitted me together in my mother's womb.

14 I praise you, for I am fearfully and wonderfully made.
Wonderful are your works;
    my soul knows it very well.

15 My frame was not hidden from you,
when I was being made in secret,
    intricately woven in the depths of the earth.

16 Your eyes saw my unformed substance;
in your book were written, every one of them,
    the days that were formed for me,
    when as yet there was none of them.

17 How precious to me are your thoughts, O God!
    How vast is the sum of them!

18 If I would count them, they are more than the sand.
    I awake, and I am still with you.
