Psalms 8 / 150
- 1
(How Majestic Is Your Name)To the choirmaster: according to The Gittith. A Psalm of David.
O Lord, our Lord,
how majestic is your name in all the earth!
You have set your glory above the heavens.
- 2
Out of the mouth of babies and infants,
you have established strength because of your foes,
to still the enemy and the avenger.
- 3
When I look at 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,
and the son of man that you care for him?
- 5
Yet you have made him a little lower than the heavenly beings
and crowned him with glory and honor.
- 6
You have given him dominion over the works of your hands;
you have put all things under his feet,
- 7
all sheep and oxen,
and also the beasts of the field,
- 8
the birds of the heavens, and the fish of the sea,
whatever passes along the paths of the seas.
- 9
O Lord, our Lord,
how majestic is your name in all the earth!
