Psalms 8

1 O LORD, our Lord, how excellent is your name in all the earth! who have set your glory above the heavens.

For the end, concerning the wine-presses, a Psalm of David. O Lord, our Lord, how wonderful is thy name in all the earth! for thy magnificence is exalted above the heavens.

2 Out of the mouth of babes and infants have you ordained strength because of your enemies, that you might still the enemy and the avenger.

Out of the mouth of babes and sucklings hast thou perfected praise, because of thine enemies; that thou mightest put down the enemy and avenger.

3 When I consider your heavens, the work of your fingers, the moon and the stars, which you have ordained;

For I will regard the heavens, the work of thy fingers; the moon and stars, which thou hast established.

4 What is man, that you are mindful of him? and the son of man, that you visit him?

What is man, that thou art mindful of him? or the son of man, that thou visitest him?

5 For you have made him a little lower than the angels, and have crowned him with glory and honour.

Thou madest him a little less than angels, thou hast crowned him with glory and honour;

6 You made him to have dominion over the works of your hands; you have put all things under his feet:

and thou hast set him 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;

sheep and all oxen, yea and the cattle of the field;

8 The fowl of the air, and the fish of the sea, and whatsoever passes through the paths of the seas.

the birds of the sky, and the fish of the sea, the [creatures] passing through the paths of the sea.

9 O LORD our Lord, how excellent is your name in all the earth!

O Lord our Lord, how wonderful is thy name in all the earth!
