Psalms 8

   |   

The LORD'S Glory and Mankind's Dignity.

For the music director; on the Gittith. A Psalm of David.

1 LORD, our Lord,
How majestic is Your name in all the earth,
You who have (F1)(C1)displayed Your splendor above the heavens!

2 (C1)From the mouths of infants and nursing babies You have established (F1)(C2)strength
Because of Your enemies,
To do away with (C3)the enemy and the revengeful.

3 When I (F1)(C1)consider (C2)Your heavens, the work of Your fingers,
The (C3)moon and the stars, which You have set in place;

4 (C1)What is man that You think of him,
And a son of man that You are concerned about him?

5 Yet You have made him a (C1)little lower than (F1)God,
And (C2)You crown him with (C3)glory and majesty!

6 You have him (C1)rule over the works of Your hands;
You have (C2)put everything under his feet,

7 All sheep and oxen,
And also the animals of the field,

8 The birds of the sky, and the fish of the sea,
Whatever passes through the paths of the seas.

9 (C1)LORD, our Lord,
How majestic is Your name in all the earth!
