[3]When I view and consider Your heavens, the work of Your fingers, the moon and the stars, which You have ordained and established,
[4]What is man that You are mindful of him, and the son of [earthborn] man that You care for him?
[5]Yet You have made him but a little lower than God [or heavenly beings], and You have crowned him with glory and honor.
[6]You made him to have dominion over the works of Your hands; You have put all things under his feet: [I Cor. 15:27; Eph. 1:22, 23; Heb. 2:6-8.]

[17]He will regard the plea of the destitute and will not despise their prayer.
[18]Let this be recorded for the generation yet unborn, that a people yet to be created shall praise the Lord.
[19]For He looked down from the height of His sanctuary, from heaven did the Lord behold the earth,
[20]To hear the sighing and groaning of the prisoner, to loose those who are appointed to death,
[21]So that men may declare the name of the Lord in Zion and His praise in Jerusalem
[22]When peoples are gathered together, and the kingdoms, to worship and serve the Lord.

1 Samuel 17:45
[45]Then said David to the Philistine, You come to me with a sword, a spear, and a javelin, but I come to you in the name of the Lord of hosts, the God of the ranks of Israel, Whom you have defied.
Psalm 46:7
[7]The Lord of hosts is with us; the God of Jacob is our Refuge (our Fortress and High Tower). Selah [pause, and calmly think of that]!
Malachi 1:10-14
[10]Oh, that there were even one among you [whose duty it is to minister to Me] who would shut the doors, that you might not kindle fire on My altar to no purpose [an empty, futile, fruitless pretense]! I have no pleasure in you, says the Lord of hosts, nor will I accept an offering from your hand.
[11]For from the rising of the sun to its setting My name shall be great among the nations, and in every place incense shall be offered to My name, and indeed a pure offering; for My name shall be great among the nations, says the Lord of hosts.
[12]But you [priests] profane it when [by your actions] you say, The table of the Lord is polluted, and the fruit of it, its food, is contemptible and may be despised.
[13]You say also, Behold, what a drudgery and weariness this is! And you have sniffed at it, says the Lord of hosts. And you have brought that which was taken by violence, or the lame or the sick; this you bring as an offering! Shall I accept this from your hand? says the Lord. [Lev. 1:3; Deut. 15:21.]
[14]But cursed is the [cheating] deceiver who has a male in his flock and vows to offer it, yet sacrifices to the [sovereign] Lord a blemished or diseased thing! For I am a great King, says the Lord of hosts, and My name is terrible and to be [reverently] feared among the nations.
Romans 9:29
[29]It is as Isaiah predicted, If the Lord of hosts had not left us a seed [from which to propagate descendants], we [Israel] would have fared like Sodom and have been made like Gomorrah. [Isa. 1:9.]
