Psalm 8 For the director of music. According to gittith. [1] A psalm of David.
1
O LORD, our Lord, how majestic is your name in all the earth! You have set your glory above the heavens.
2
From the lips of children and infants you have ordained praise [2] because of your enemies, to silence the foe and the avenger.
3
When I consider your heavens, the work of your fingers, the moon and the stars, which you have set in place,
4
what is man that you are mindful of him, the son of man that you care for him?
5
You made him a little lower than the heavenly beings [3] and crowned him with glory and honor.
6
You made him ruler over the works of your hands; you put everything under his feet:
7
all flocks and herds, and the beasts of the field,
8
the birds of the air, and the fish of the sea, all that swim the paths of the seas.
9
O LORD, our Lord, how majestic is your name in all the earth!
