| Chapter 8 |
1 | For the Chief Musician; set to the Gittith. A Psalm of David. O Jehovah, our Lord, How excellent is thy name in all the earth, Who hast set thy glory upon the heavens! |
2 | Out of the mouth of babes and sucklings hast thou established strength, Because of thine adversaries, 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 but little lower than God, And crownest him with glory and honor. |
6 | Thou makest 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 birds of the heavens, and the fish of the sea, Whatsoever passeth through the paths of the seas. |
9 | O Jehovah, our Lord, How excellent is thy name in all the earth! |
