  • Gives cohesion to vv.4-5; also, to a lesser extent, gives cohesion to vv.8-9  +

  • Gives cohesion to vv.8-9  +
  • Kraut argues that vv.4, 7 form elements D and D' in a chiasm that constitutes the whole of Psalm 8. See below on [[#Large-scale structures|Large-scale structures]].  +
  • Repetition of the consonants א – ד – מ at the beginning (v.2: אדנינו מה אדיר), ending (v.10: אדנינו מה אדיר) and middle (v.5b: אדם) highlights אדם ("man") as the thematic focus of the psalm. Psalm 8 is, in short, a psalm about אדם.  +
  • The envelop of the psalm, with its focus on God's wonderful majesty (מה אדיר), is thereby tied to the center, with its focus on the wonder of humanity's place in the world (מה אנושׁ). See also below on the repetition of א + ד +/– מ/ם (vv.2,5,10)  +
  • The seemingly odd use of אשׁר (v.2c) to begin the body of the psalm might be explained, at least in part, phonologically. אשׁר (v.2c) follows immediately after ארץ (v.2b). See [[#Similar sounds in adjacent lines|below]].  +
  • The sound play between שׁם and שׁמים runs throughout the psalm and appears to mark boundaries. In terms of meaning, the sound play may underscore the fact that the majesty of God's name (שֵׁם) is seen in the skies (שָׁמַיִם)  +
  • forms/strengthens parallelism (v.6ab)  +
