Psalms
Chapter 8
1
For the Chief Musician; on an instrument of Gath. A Psalm by David. Yahweh, our Lord, how majestic is your name in all the earth!
You have set your glory above the heavens!
2
From the lips of babes and infants you have established strength,
because of your adversaries, that you might silence the enemy and the avenger.
3
When I consider your heavens, the work of your fingers,
the moon and the stars, which you have ordained,
4
what is man, that you think of him?
What is the son of man, that you care for him?
5
For you have made him a little lower than the angels,
and crowned him with glory and honor.
6
You make him ruler over the works of your hands.
You have put all things under his feet:
7
All sheep and cattle,
yes, and the animals of the field,
8
the birds of the sky, the fish of the sea,
and whatever passes through the paths of the seas.
9
Yahweh, our Lord,
how majestic is your name in all the earth!

Chapter 8
1
For the Chief Musician; set to the Gittith. A Psalm of David. O Jehovah, our Lord,
How excellent is thy name in all the earth,
Who hast set thy glory upon the heavens!
2
Out of the mouth of babes and sucklings hast thou established strength,
Because of thine adversaries,
That thou mightest still the enemy and the avenger.
3
When I consider thy heavens, the work of thy fingers,
The moon and the stars, which thou hast ordained;
4
What is man, that thou art mindful of him?
And the son of man, that thou visitest him?
5
For thou hast made him but little lower than God,
And crownest him with glory and honor.
6
Thou makest him to have dominion over the works of thy hands;
Thou hast put all things under his feet:
7
All sheep and oxen,
Yea, and the beasts of the field,
8
The birds of the heavens, and the fish of the sea,
Whatsoever passeth through the paths of the seas.
9
O Jehovah, our Lord,
How excellent is thy name in all the earth!
