Psalms 8

1 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.

TO THE OVERSEER. ON THE GITTITH. A PSALM OF DAVID. YHWH, our Lord, How majestic [is] Your Name in all the earth, Who have set Your splendor on the heavens!

2 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.

From the mouths of infants and sucklings You have founded strength, Because of Your adversaries, To still an enemy and a self-avenger.

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

For I see Your heavens, a work of Your fingers, [The] moon and stars that You established.

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

What [is] man that You remember him? The son of man that You inspect him?

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

You make him a little lower than the gods [[or God]], And surround him with glory and majesty.

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

You cause him to rule Over the works of Your hands, You have placed all under his feet.

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

Sheep and oxen, all of them, And also beasts of the field,

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

Bird of the heavens, and fish of the sea, Passing through the paths of the seas!

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

YHWH, our Lord, How majestic [is] Your Name in all the earth!
