Psalm 8

For the Chief Musician; on an instrument of Gath. A Psalm by David.

 ^8:1Yahweh, our Lord, how majestic is your name in all the earth,
      Who has set your glory above the heavens!

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

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

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

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

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

 ^8:7All sheep and oxen,
      Yes, and the animals of the field,
      ^8:8The birds of the sky, the fish of the sea,
      And whatever passes through the paths of the seas.

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