Psalm 8

1. 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.

2. 2

   Out of the mouth of babes and sucklings hast thou ordained strength because of thine enemies, that thou mightest still the enemy and the avenger.

3. 3

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

4. 4

   What is man, that thou art mindful of him? and the son of man, that thou visitest him?

5. 5

   For thou hast made him a little lower than the angels, and hast crowned him with glory and honour.

6. 6

   Thou madest him to have dominion over the works of thy hands; thou hast put all things under his feet:

7. 7

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

8. 8

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

9. 9

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