There was a time when constellations were considered to be "heavenly beings". Is this what the Psalmist is referring to? Imagine what it looked like when they looked up at the sky on a clear night. There was no electricity to power cities and therefore no light emanating from the earth to block the view of the stars. On clear nights with no moon, they must have been able to see the stars so clearly that they felt a part of them. Thinking the earth was flat, the stars above represented the heavenly realm, all ordered, orchestrated, and ruled by God. How can you not consider a creator when you view the majesty of the created order? Who can be above that creator? It leads us to a place of awe and humility. A place of worship.
