Psalms 8

1 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.

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

2 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.

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.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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