< Psalms 8 >

1 For the end, concerning the wine presses, a Psalm of David. O Lord, our Lord, how wonderful is your name in all the earth! for your 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 have you perfected praise, because of your enemies; that you might 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 your fingers; the moon and stars, which you have established.
For I see Your heavens, a work of Your fingers, [The] moon and stars that You established.
4 What is man, that you are mindful of him? or the son of man, that you visit him?
What [is] man that You remember him? The son of man that You inspect him?
5 You made him a little less than angels, you have 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 you have set him over the works of your hands: you have 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, yes 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 your name in all the earth!
YHWH, our Lord, How majestic [is] Your Name in all the earth!
