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.

To him that excelleth on Gittith. A Psalme of Dauid. O Lord our Lord, how excellent is thy Name in all the worlde! which hast set thy glory aboue the heauens.

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 suckelings hast thou ordeined strength, because of thine enemies, that thou mightest still the enemie and the auenger.

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

When I beholde thine heauens, euen the workes of thy fingers, the moone and the starres which thou hast ordeined,

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

What is man, say I, that thou art mindefull of him? and the sonne of man, that thou visitest him?

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

For thou hast made him a little lower then God, and crowned him with glory and worship.

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

Thou hast made him to haue dominion in the workes of thine hands: thou hast put all things vnder his feete:

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

All sheepe and oxen: yea, and the beastes of the fielde:

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

The foules of the ayre, and the fish of the sea, and that which passeth through the paths of the seas.

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

O Lord our Lord, howe excellent is thy Name in all the world!
