Psalms 8

^{Psalms 8:1} O LORD, our Lord, how majestic is Your name in all the earth! You have set Your glory above the heavens.

^{Psalms 8:2} From the mouths of children and infants You have ordained praise on account of Your adversaries, to silence the enemy and avenger.

^{Psalms 8:3} When I behold Your heavens, the work of Your fingers, the moon and the stars, which You have set in place—

^{Psalms 8:4} what is man that You are mindful of him, or the son of man that You care for him?

^{Psalms 8:5} You made him a little lower than the angels; You crowned him with glory and honor.

^{Psalms 8:6} You made him ruler of the works of Your hands; You have placed everything under his feet:

^{Psalms 8:7} all sheep and oxen, and even the beasts of the field,

^{Psalms 8:8} the birds of the air and the fish of the sea, all that swim the paths of the seas.

^{Psalms 8:9} O LORD, our Lord, how majestic is Your name in all the earth!
