Psalm 8
1 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!
