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 LORD, our Lord, how excellent is your name in all the earth! who have set your glory 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 mouth of babes and infants have you ordained strength because of your enemies, that you 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 your heavens, the work of your fingers, the moon and the stars, which you 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 you are mindful of him? and 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.

For you have made him a little lower than the angels, and have crowned him with glory and honour.

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

You made him to have dominion over the works of your hands; you 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 fowl of the air, and the fish of the sea, and whatsoever passes through the paths of the seas.

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

O LORD our Lord, how excellent is your name in all the earth!
