Psalms 8

1 For the Chief Musician; set to the Gittith. A Psalm of David. O LORD, our Lord, how excellent is thy name in all the earth! who hast set thy glory upon 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 sucklings hast thou established strength, because of thine adversaries, that thou mightest 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 thy heavens, the work of thy fingers, the moon and the stars, which thou hast 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 thou art mindful of him? and the son of man, that thou visitest him?

What is man, that thou art mindful of him? or 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 honour.

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

6 Thou madest him to have dominion over the works of thy hands; thou hast 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, whatsoever passeth 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 thy name in all the earth!

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