In most English translations the term appears six times to describe the Lord, as if the poet were purposefully striking a single key on the piano over and over. The work of the Lord, by “your fingers” and “your hands,” which results in the creation of “your heavens,” is a reflection of “your glory” and of “your name,” the latter of which is repeated at the beginning and end of the poem to frame the psalm. Everything that happens inside this frame, from the poet’s perspective, is intended to communicate something specific about the personal name of God.
