Psalms 8

   |   

God's Glory and Human Dignity[a]

1 O Lord, our Lord,
    your greatness is seen in all the world!
Your praise reaches up to the heavens;
2 (a)it is sung by children and babies.
You are safe and secure from all your enemies;
    you stop anyone who opposes you.

3 When I look at the sky, which you have made,
    at the moon and the stars, which you set in their places—
4 (b)what are human beings, that you think of them;
    mere mortals, that you care for them?

5 (c)Yet you made them inferior only to yourself;[b]
    you crowned them with glory and honor.
6 (d)You appointed them rulers over everything you made;
    you placed them over all creation:
7     sheep and cattle, and the wild animals too;
8     the birds and the fish
    and the creatures in the seas.

9 O Lord, our Lord,
    your greatness is seen in all the world!
