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 dost visit him?

5 For Thou hast made him a little lower than the angels, and hast crowned him with glory and honor.

6 Thou hast made 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!
