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!

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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