Psalms 8

1 “For the leader of the music; to be accompanied with the gittith. A psalm of David.” O Jehovah, our Lord! How excellent is thy name in all the earth! Thou hast set thy glory above the heavens.

O LORD, our Lord, how excellent is your name in all the earth! who have set your glory above the heavens.

2 Out of the mouths of babes and sucklings hast thou ordained praise, To put thine adversaries to shame, And to silence the enemy and avenger.

Out of the mouth of babes and infants have you ordained strength because of your enemies, that you might still the enemy and the avenger.

3 When I consider thy heavens, the work of thy fingers, The moon and the stars which thou hast ordained:

When I consider your heavens, the work of your fingers, the moon and the stars, which you have ordained;

4 What is man, that thou art mindful of him, And the son of man, that thou carest for him?

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

5 Yet thou hast made him little lower than God; Thou hast crowned him with glory and honor.

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

6 Thou hast given him dominion over the works of thy hands; Thou hast put all things under his feet, —

You made him to have dominion over the works of your hands; you have put all things under his feet:

7 All sheep and oxen, Yea, and the beasts of the forest;

All sheep and oxen, yea, and the beasts of the field;

8 The birds of the air, and the fishes of the sea, And whatever passeth through the paths of the deep.

The fowl of the air, and the fish of the sea, and whatsoever passes through the paths of the seas.

9 O Jehovah, our Lord, How excellent is thy name in all the earth!

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