< Psalms 8 >
1 For the Leader; upon the Gittith. A Psalm of David. O LORD, our Lord, how glorious is Thy name in all the earth! whose majesty is rehearsed above the heavens.
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 sucklings hast Thou founded strength, because of Thine adversaries; that Thou mightest still the enemy and the avenger.
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 behold Thy heavens, the work of Thy fingers, the moon and the stars, which Thou hast established;
When I consider your heavens, the work of your fingers, the moon and the stars, which you have ordained;
4 What is man, that Thou art mindful of him? and the son of man, that Thou thinkest of him?
What is man, that you are mindful of him? and the son of man, that you visit him?
5 Yet Thou hast made him but little lower than the angels, and hast crowned him with glory and honour.
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 have dominion over the works of Thy hands; Thou hast put all things under His feet:
You made him to have dominion over the works of your hands; you have put all things under his feet:
7 Sheep and oxen, all of them, yea, and the beasts of the field;
All sheep and oxen, yea, and the beasts of the field;
8 The fowl of the air, and the fish of the sea; whatsoever 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, how glorious is Thy name in all the earth!
O LORD our Lord, how excellent is your name in all the earth!
