8:1 For the director of music. According to gittith. A psalm of David. O LORD, our Lord, how majestic is your name in all the earth! You have set your glory above the heavens.
8:2 From the lips of children and infants you have ordained praise because of your enemies, to silence the foe and the avenger.
8:3 When I consider your heavens, the work of your fingers, the moon and the stars, which you have set in place,
8:4 what is man that you are mindful of him, the son of man that you care for him?
8:5 You made him a little lower than the heavenly beings and crowned him with glory and honor.
8:6 You made him ruler over the works of your hands; you put everything under his feet:
8:7 all flocks and herds, and the beasts of the field,
8:8 the birds of the air, and the fish of the sea, all that swim the paths of the seas.
8:9 O LORD, our Lord, how majestic is your name in all the earth!
8:1 O Jehovah our Lord, / How excellent is Your name / In all the earth, / You who have set Your glory over the heavens!
8:2 Out of the mouths of babes and sucklings / You have established strength / Because of Your adversaries, / To stop the enemy and the avenger.
8:3 When I see Your heavens, the works of Your fingers, / The moon and the stars, which You have ordained,
8:4 What is mortal man, that You remember him, / And the son of man, that You visit him?
8:5 You have made Him a little lower than angels / And have crowned Him with glory and honor.
8:6 For You have caused Him to rule over the works of Your hands; / You have put all things under His feet:
8:7 All sheep and oxen, / As well as the beasts of the field,
8:8 The birds of heaven and the fish of the sea, / Whatever passes through the paths of the seas.
8:9 O Jehovah our Lord, / How excellent is Your name / In all the earth!
