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.
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 When I consider thy heavens, the work of
thy fingers, the moon and the stars, which thou hast
ordained;
4 What is man, that thou art mindful of
him? and the son 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
honour.
6 Thou madest him to have dominion over
the works of thy hands; thou hast put all things under his
feet:
7 All sheep and oxen, yea, and the beasts
of the field;
8 The fowl of the air, and the fish of the
sea, and whatsoever passeth through the paths of the
seas.
9 O LORD our Lord, how excellent is thy name in all the earth!
