Psalms 8

1 Unto the end. For the oil and wine presses. A Psalm of David. O Lord, our Lord, how admirable is your name throughout all the earth! For your magnificence is elevated 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 mouths of babes and infants, you have perfected praise, because of your enemies, so that you may destroy the enemy and the revenger.

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 For I will behold your heavens, the works of your fingers: the moon and the stars, which you have founded.

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

4 What is man, that you are mindful of him, or the son of man, that you visit him?

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

5 You reduced him to a little less than the Angels; you have crowned him with glory and honor,

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

6 and you have set him over the works of your hands.

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

7 You have subjected all things under his feet, all sheep and oxen, and in addition: the beasts of the field,

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

8 the birds of the air, and the fish of the sea, which pass through the paths of the sea.

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 admirable is your name throughout all the earth!

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