Psalms 8

1 O LORD, our Lord, how excellent is your name in all the earth! who have set your glory above the heavens.

O LORD our Lord, how excellent is thy name in all the earth! who hast set thy glory above the heavens.

2 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.

Out of the mouth of babes and sucklings hast thou ordained strength because of thine enemies, that thou mightest still the enemy and the avenger.

3 When I consider your heavens, the work of your fingers, the moon and the stars, which you have ordained;

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

4 What is man, that you are mindful of him? and the son of man, that you visit him?

What is man, that thou art mindful of him? and the son of man, that thou visitest him?

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

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

6 You made him to have dominion over the works of your hands; you have put all things under his feet:

Thou madest him to have dominion over the works of thy hands; thou hast put all things under his feet:

7 All sheep and oxen, 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, and whatsoever passes through the paths of the seas.

The fowl of the air, and the fish of the sea, and whatsoever passeth through the paths of the seas.

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

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