Psalms 8

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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