Psalms 8

   |   

Psalm 8[a]

For the director of music. According to gittith.[b] A psalm of David.

1 Lord, our Lord,
    how majestic is your name(a) in all the earth!

You have set your glory(b)
    in the heavens.(c)
2 Through the praise of children and infants
    you have established a stronghold(d) against your enemies,
    to silence the foe(e) and the avenger.
3 When I consider your heavens,(f)
    the work of your fingers,(g)
the moon and the stars,(h)
    which you have set in place,
4 what is mankind that you are mindful of them,
    human beings that you care for them?[c](i)

5 You have made them[d] a little lower than the angels[e](j)
    and crowned them[f] with glory and honor.(k)
6 You made them rulers(l) over the works of your hands;(m)
    you put everything under their[g] feet:(n)
7 all flocks and herds,(o)
    and the animals of the wild,(p)
8 the birds in the sky,
    and the fish in the sea,(q)
    all that swim the paths of the seas.

9 Lord, our Lord,
    how majestic is your name in all the earth!(r)
