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!

Psalms 8
8
For the Chief Musician; set to the Gittith. A Psalm of David.
1O LORD, our Lord,
How excellent is thy name in all the earth!
Who hast set thy glory upon the heavens.
2Out of the mouth of babes and sucklings hast thou established strength,
Because of thine adversaries,
That thou mightest still the enemy and the avenger.
3When I consider thy heavens, the work of thy fingers,
The moon and the stars, which thou hast ordained;
4What is man, that thou art mindful of him?
And the son of man, that thou visitest him?
5For thou hast made him but little lower than God,
And crownest him with glory and honour.
6Thou madest him to have dominion over the works of thy hands;
Thou hast put all things under his feet:
7All sheep and oxen,
Yea, and the beasts of the field;
8The fowl of the air, and the fish of the sea,
Whatsoever passeth through the paths of the seas.
9O LORD, our Lord,
How excellent is thy name in all the earth!
