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.

To the choirmaster on the Gittith a psalm of David. O Yahweh lord our how! majestic [is] name your in all the earth [the one] who set! splendor your 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.

From [the] mouth of children - and suckling-children you have established strength on account of opposers your to put an end to an enemy and an avenger.

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

If I will see heavens your [the] works fingers your [the] moon and [the] stars which you have established.

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

What? [is] humankind that you will remember him and a son of humankind that you will pay attention to him.

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

And you have made lack him little from God and honor and majesty you crown him.

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

You make rule him over [the] works of hands your everything you have put under feet his.

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

Sheep and cattle all of them and also [the] animals 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] bird[s] of [the] heavens And [the] fish of the sea [that which] passes through [the] paths of [the] seas.

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

O Yahweh lord our how! majestic [is] name your in all the earth.
