- "Reflecting on God's love for the non-human as well as human creatures may remind us that too often we have disdained and neglected these fellow creatures of the sixth day (Genesis 1:24-31), whom we should think of as our distant cousins. God, says this psalm, cares about all the creatures of this planet, human and nonhuman. We, as God's people, are called to do no less."
