Psalms 8

1 O Lord, our Lord,
How excellent is Your name in all the earth,
Who have set Your glory above the heavens! 2 Out of the mouth of babes and nursing infants
You have ordained strength,
Because of Your enemies,
That You may silence the enemy and the avenger. 3 When I consider Your heavens, the work of Your fingers,
The moon and the stars, which You have ordained, 4 What is man that You are mindful of him,
And the son of man that You visit him? 5 For You have made him a little lower than the angels,
And You have crowned him with glory and honor. 6 You have made him to have dominion over the works of Your hands;
You have put all things under his feet, 7 All sheep and oxen--
Even the beasts of the field, 8 The birds of the air,
And the fish of the sea
That pass through the paths of the seas. 9 O Lord, our Lord,
How excellent is Your name in all the earth!
