Psalms 8

1 For the Chief Musician; set to the Gittith. A Psalm of David. O LORD, our Lord, how excellent is thy name in all the earth! who hast set thy glory upon the heavens.

O Jehovah, our Lord, how excellent is thy name in all the earth, who has set thy glory upon the heavens!

2 Out of the mouth of babes and sucklings hast thou established strength, because of thine adversaries, that thou mightest still the enemy and the avenger.

Out of the mouth of babes and sucklings thou have perfected praise, because of thine adversaries, that thou 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 thy heavens, the work of thy fingers, the moon and the stars, which thou have ordained,

4 What is man, that thou art mindful of him? and the son of man, that thou visitest him?

what is man that thou remember him? And the son of man that thou succor him?

5 For thou hast made him but little lower than God, and crownest him with glory and honour.

For thou have made him but little lower than agents, and crowned him with glory and honor.

6 Thou madest him to have dominion over the works of thy hands; thou hast put all things under his feet:

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

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

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

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

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

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