Psalms 8

^{Psalms 8:1} O LORD our Lord, how excellent is thy name in all the earth! who hast set thy glory above the heavens.

^{Psalms 8:2} Out of the mouth of babes and sucklings hast thou ordained strength because of thine enemies, that thou mightest still the enemy and the avenger.

^{Psalms 8:3} When I consider thy heavens, the work of thy fingers, the moon and the stars, which thou hast ordained;

^{Psalms 8:4} What is man, that thou art mindful of him? and the son of man, that thou visitest him?

^{Psalms 8:5} For thou hast made him a little lower than the angels, and hast crowned him with glory and honour.

^{Psalms 8:6} Thou madest him to have dominion over the works of thy hands; thou hast put all things under his feet:

^{Psalms 8:7} All sheep and oxen, yea, and the beasts of the field;

^{Psalms 8:8} The fowl of the air, and the fish of the sea, and whatsoever passeth through the paths of the seas.

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