Israel's covenant sonship is the core premise of the Psalter, and thus the various psalms give voice to all of the aspects of that relationship, including commemoration, celebration, praise, thanksgiving, supplication, penitence, imprecation, etc. The Psalter opens by proclaiming the blessedness of those who are devoted to God and His revealed truth, and Psalm 8 shows that the essence of this blessedness is human sonship - man's status and vocation as God's image-son.
