Psalm 8

8:1

For the choirmaster. According to Gittith. A Psalm of David. O LORD, our Lord, how majestic is Your name in all the earth! You have set Your glory above the heavens.

8:2

From the mouths of children and infants You have ordained praise on account of Your adversaries, to silence the enemy and avenger.

8:3

When I behold Your heavens, the work of Your fingers, the moon and the stars, which You have set in place—

8:4

what is man that You are mindful of him, or the son of man that You care for him?

8:5

You made him a little lower than the angels; You crowned him with glory and honor.

8:6

You made him ruler of the works of Your hands; You have placed everything under his feet:

8:7

all sheep and oxen, and even the beasts of the field,

8:8

the birds of the air and the fish of the sea, all that swim the paths of the seas.

8:9

O LORD, our Lord, how majestic is Your name in all the earth!
