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 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.

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 mouth of babes and sucklings hast thou established strength, because of thine adversaries, that thou mightest still the enemy and the 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 visitest him?

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

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

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

Thou madest him to have 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 field;

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

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

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

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