Psalms Chapter 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 sucklings have you ordained strength because of your enemies, that you might still 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 have crowned him with glory and honor.

6

You made him to have dominion over the works of your hands; you have put all things under his feet:

7

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

8

The fowl of the air, and the fish of the sea, and whatever passes through the paths of the seas.

9

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