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.

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.

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 have you perfected praise, because of your enemies; that you might put down the enemy and avenger.

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

For I will regard the heavens, the work of your fingers; the moon and stars, which you have established.

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 made him a little less than 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: you have put all things under his feet:

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

sheep and all oxen, yes and the cattle 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 sky, and the fish of the sea, the [creatures] passing 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 wonderful is your name in all the earth!
