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.

“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.

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.

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.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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 fishes of the sea, And whatever passeth through the paths of the deep.

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

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