Psalms 8

1 To the chief Musician upon Gittith, A Psalm of David. O LORD our Lord, how excellent [is] thy name in all the earth! who hast set thy glory above 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 ordained strength because of thy enemies, 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 a little lower than the angels, and hast crowned him with glory and honor.

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

6 Thou hast made 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, yes, 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, [and whatever] 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!
