Tehillim 8
8
(For the one directing. According to the gittit. Mizmor of Dovid)
1 Hashem Adoneinu, how excellent is Shimecha in kol ha'aretz, Who hast set Thy glory above HaShomayim.
2 Out of the mouth of olelim and infants hast Thou established strength because of Thine enemies, that Thou mightest still the enemy and the avenger.
3 When I consider Thy heavens, the ma'asim of Thy fingers, the yarei'ach and the kokhavim, which Thou hast ordained;
4 What is enosh (mankind), that Thou art mindful of him? And the ben adam, that Thou visitest him?
5 For Thou hast made him a little lower than elohim,#8:5 or Elohim, Gn 1:27 and hast crowned him with kavod and hadar.
6 Thou madest him to have dominion over the ma'asim of Thy hands; Thou hast put all things under his feet:
7 All sheep and oxen, yea, and the behemot sadeh;
8 The fowl of the air, and the dag (fish) of the yam, and whatsoever passeth through the paths of the seas.
9 Hashem Adoneinu, how excellent is Shimecha in kol ha'aretz!
