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!

Unto the end. For the oil and wine presses. A Psalm of David. O Lord, our Lord, how admirable is your name throughout all the earth! For your magnificence is elevated 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 mouths of babes and infants, you have perfected praise, because of your enemies, so that you may destroy the enemy and the revenger.

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

For I will behold your heavens, the works of your fingers: the moon and the stars, which you have founded.

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 reduced him to a little less than the Angels; you have crowned him with glory and honor,

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.

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

You have subjected all things under his feet, all sheep and oxen, and in addition: the beasts of the field,

8 Bird of the heavens, and fish of the sea, Passing through the paths of the seas!

the birds of the air, and the fish of the sea, which pass through the paths of the sea.

9 YHWH, our Lord, How majestic [is] Your Name in all the earth!

O Lord, our Lord, how admirable is your name throughout all the earth!
