Psalms 8

1 O Jehovah, our Lord, how excellent is thy name in all the earth, who has set thy glory upon the heavens!

To him that excelleth on Gittith. A Psalme of Dauid. O Lord our Lord, how excellent is thy Name in all the worlde! which hast set thy glory aboue the heauens.

2 Out of the mouth of babes and sucklings thou have perfected praise, because of thine adversaries, that thou might still the enemy and the avenger.

Out of the mouth of babes and suckelings hast thou ordeined strength, because of thine enemies, that thou mightest still the enemie and the auenger.

3 When I consider thy heavens, the work of thy fingers, the moon and the stars, which thou have ordained,

When I beholde thine heauens, euen the workes of thy fingers, the moone and the starres which thou hast ordeined,

4 what is man that thou remember him? And the son of man that thou succor him?

What is man, say I, that thou art mindefull of him? and the sonne of man, that thou visitest him?

5 For thou have made him but little lower than agents, and crowned him with glory and honor.

For thou hast made him a little lower then God, and crowned him with glory and worship.

6 Thou make him to have dominion over the works of thy hands. Thou have put all things under his feet.

Thou hast made him to haue dominion in the workes of thine hands: thou hast put all things vnder his feete:

7 All sheep and oxen, yea, and the beasts of the field,

All sheepe and oxen: yea, and the beastes of the fielde:

8 the birds of the heavens, and the fish of the sea, whatever passes through the paths of the seas.

The foules of the ayre, and the fish of the sea, and that which passeth through the paths of the seas.

9 O Jehovah, our Lord, how excellent is thy name in all the earth!

O Lord our Lord, howe excellent is thy Name in all the world!
