Psalms 8

1 [For the Chief Musician; on an instrument of Gath. A Psalm by David.] Jehovah, our Lord, how majestic is your name in all the earth. You have put your glory upon the heavens.

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 lips of children and infants you have established praise, because of your adversaries, that you might silence the enemy and the avenger.

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

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

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

4 what is man, that you think of him, and the son of man that you care for him?

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

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

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

6 and you made him ruler over the works of your hands. You have put all things under his feet:

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

7 all sheep and cattle, and also the wild animals,

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

8 the birds of the sky, and the fish of the sea, whatever passes through the paths of the seas.

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

9 Jehovah, our Lord, how majestic is your name in all the earth.

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