Psalm 8

The lord's Glory and Mankind's Dignity 

For the music director; on the Gittith. A psalm of David

 

8 

Lord, our Lord,

How majestic is Your name in all the earth,

You who have displayed Your splendor above the heavens!

2 

From the mouths of infants and nursing babies You have established strength

Because of Your enemies,

To do away with the enemy and the revengeful.

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 think of him,

And a son of man that You are concerned about him?

5 

Yet You have made him a little lower than [d]God,

And You crown him with glory and majesty!

6 

You have him rule over the works of Your hands;

You have put everything under his feet,

7 

All sheep and oxen,

And also the animals of the field,

8 

The birds of the sky, and the fish of the sea,

Whatever passes through the paths of the seas.

9 

How majestic is Your name in all the earth! Psalm 8 NASB
