Psalms 8

1 TO THE OVERSEER. ON THE GITTITH. A PSALM OF DAVID. YHWH, our Lord, How majestic [is] Your Name in all the earth, Who have set Your splendor on the heavens!

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 From the mouths of infants and sucklings You have founded strength, Because of Your adversaries, To still an enemy and a self-avenger.

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 For I see Your heavens, a work of Your fingers, [The] moon and stars that You established.

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

4 What [is] man that You remember him? The son of man that You inspect him?

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

5 You make him a little lower than the gods [[or God]], And surround him with glory and majesty.

You made him a little less than angels, you have crowned him with glory and honour;

6 You cause him to rule Over the works of Your hands, You have placed all under his feet.

and you have set him over the works of your hands: you have put all things under his feet:

7 Sheep and oxen, all of them, And also beasts of the field,

sheep and all oxen, yes and the cattle of the field;

8 Bird of the heavens, and fish of the sea, Passing 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 YHWH, our Lord, How majestic [is] Your Name in all the earth!

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