The poem, inspired by Psalm 8:9 (KJV), celebrates the boundless greatness of God’s name and attributes, depicted through nature’s grandeur and divine titles like Creator and Redeemer. The revised line, “O LORD, our Lord, in Your strength we arise,” conveys victory and hope, emphasizing God’s name as a source of triumph and guidance. His glory surpasses human understanding, yet remains a constant source of awe and refuge across the earth.

Psalm 8:9 (KJV):
O LORD our Lord, how excellent is thy name in all the earth!

Can we even fathom the heights of His name,
The boundless excellencies no heart can contain?
O LORD, our Lord, Your glory unfolds,
In stars that burn fierce, in stories untold.

Your name is a whisper in the morning’s first light,
A thunder that roars through the tempests of night.
Each mountain, each valley, each wave that does sing,
Proclaims the vast splendor of our holy King.

Immeasurable titles, too grand to define,
Creator, Redeemer, Eternal, Divine.
From the sparrow’s soft fall to the galaxies’ span,
Your name holds the cosmos in the palm of Your hand.

Can we grasp the depths of Your mercy and might?
Or trace the full brilliance of Your sacred light?
O LORD, our Lord, in Your strength we arise,
Your name is our triumph, our hope in the skies.

How excellent, how holy, in all earth Your fame,
Forever we’ll marvel at Your matchless name.

Summary of Change:
The line “O LORD, our Lord, though we falter and roam” was revised to “O LORD, our Lord, in Your strength we arise,” shifting from a tone of struggle to one of victory and hope, emphasizing reliance on God’s strength and the uplifting power of His name.
