Psalm 8

₁O LORD our Lord, how excellent is thy name in all the earth!

Who hast set thy glory above the heavens.

₂Out of the mouth of babes and sucklings hast thou ordained strength because of thine enemies,

That thou mightest still the enemy and the avenger.

₃When I consider thy heavens, the work of thy fingers,

The moon and the stars, which thou hast ordained;

₄What is man, that thou art mindful of him?

And the son of man, that thou visitest him?

₅For thou hast made him a little lower than the angels,

And hast crowned him with glory and honour.

₆Thou madest him to have dominion over the works of thy hands;

Thou hast put all things under his feet:

₇All sheep and oxen,

Yea, and the beasts of the field;

₈The fowl of the air, and the fish of the sea,

And whatsoever passeth through the paths of the seas.

₉O LORD our Lord,

How excellent is thy name in all the earth!
