Psalms 8
1 For the choirmaster; according to the Gittith. A psalm of David.
2 LORD, our Lord, how majestic is your name throughout the earth! You have set your splendor above the heavens.
3 From the mouths of children and infants you have established strength, because of your adversaries, to silence the enemy and the avenger.
4 I see your heavens, the work of your fingers, the moon and the stars that you set in place.
5 What is man, that you remember him? And the human being, that you care for him?
6 You made him a little lower than the divine beings and crowned him with glory and majesty.
7 You made him rule over the works of your hands; you put everything under his feet:
8 sheep and oxen, all of them, and also the animals of the field,
9 the birds of the sky and the fish of the sea, everything that travels the paths of the seas.
10 LORD, our Lord, how majestic is your name throughout the earth!
