I love Psalm 8...there are so many good points in it.

Verse 2 says "From the lips of children and infants you have ordained praise because of your enemies, to silence the foe and the avenger"

Okay, so basically God gives power through the praise of little ones! Wow! So when little Walter sings to Jesus, it pierces through the darkness and silences the enemy!

We should pay more attention and teach our young ones praises and encourage them to say them and sing them loudly and boldly. If we could only see what happens in the spiritual realm when tender lips speak the name of our Father!

Also, Jesus quoted this verse in Matthew 21:16 because the children in the temple area were shouting, "Hosanna to the Son of David."

This made the chief priests and teachers of the law mad and said, "Do you hear what these children are saying?" they asked him.

"Yes," replied Jesus, "have you never read,
'From the lips of children and infants you have ordained praise?'"
