Psalms
Chapter 8


8:1  For the Chief Musician; on an instrument of Gath. A Psalm by David. Yahweh, our Lord, how majestic is your name in all the earth, Who has set your glory above the heavens!

8:2  From the lips of babes and infants you have established strength, Because of your adversaries, that you might silence the enemy and the avenger.

8:3  When I consider your heavens, the work of your fingers, The moon and the stars, which you have ordained;

8:4  What is man, that you think of him? The son of man, that you care for him?

8:5  For you have made him a little lower than God, And crowned him with glory and honor.

8:6  You make him ruler over the works of your hands. You have put all things under his feet:

8:7  All sheep and oxen, Yes, and the animals of the field,

8:8  The birds of the sky, the fish of the sea, And whatever passes through the paths of the seas.

8:9  Yahweh, our Lord, How majestic is your name in all the earth!
