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.

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.

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 mouths of babes and infants, you have perfected praise, because of your enemies, so that you may destroy the enemy and the revenger.

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

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

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

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

You reduced him to a little less than the Angels; you have 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:

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

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

You have subjected all things under his feet, all sheep and oxen, and in addition: 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 air, and the fish of the sea, which pass through the paths of the sea.

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

O Lord, our Lord, how admirable is your name throughout all the earth!
