Psalms 8

1 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.

To the chief music-maker on the Gittith. A Psalm. Of David. O Lord, our Lord, whose glory is higher than the heavens, how noble is your name in all the earth!

2 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.

You have made clear your strength even out of the mouths of babies at the breast, because of those who are against you; so that you may put to shame the cruel and violent man.

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

When I see your heavens, the work of your fingers, the moon and the stars, which you have put in their places;

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

What is man, that you keep him in mind? the son of man, that you take him into account?

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

For you have made him only a little lower than the gods, crowning him with glory and honour.

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

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

7 Sheep and cattle all of them and also [the] animals of [the] field.

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

8 [the] bird[s] of [the] heavens And [the] fish of the sea [that which] passes through [the] paths of [the] seas.

The birds of the air and the fish of the sea, and whatever goes through the deep waters of the seas.

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

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