Psalm 8
For the choir director; on the gittith; #8:0 Unknown musical term. a psalm by David.
1O Lord, our Lord, how majestic is your name throughout the earth!
Your glory is sung above the heavens.
2From the mouths of little children and infants,
you have built a fortress against your opponents
to silence the enemy and the avenger.
3When I look at your heavens,
the creation of your fingers,
the moon and the stars that you have set in place—
4what is a mortal that you remember him
or the Son of Man that you take care of him?
5You have made him a little lower than yourself.
You have crowned him with glory and honor.
6You have made him rule what your hands created.
You have put everything under his control:
7all the sheep and cattle, the wild animals,
8the birds, the fish,
whatever swims in the currents of the seas.
9O Lord, our Lord, how majestic is your name throughout the earth!

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!
