Psalms 8

1 To the chief Musician. Upon the Gittith. A Psalm of David. Jehovah our Lord, how excellent is thy name in all the earth! who hast set thy majesty 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 sucklings hast thou established praise because of thine adversaries, to 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 see thy heavens, the work of thy fingers, the moon and stars, which thou hast established;

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 Thou hast made him a little lower than the angels, and hast crowned him with glory and splendour.

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

6 Thou hast made him to rule over the works of thy hands; thou hast put everything under his feet:

and thou hast set him over the works of thy hands: thou hast put all things under his feet:

7 Sheep and oxen, all of them, and also the beasts of the field;

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

8 The fowl of the heavens, and the fishes of the sea, [whatever] 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 Jehovah our Lord, how excellent is thy name in all the earth!

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