PSALM VIII.
The nameliheid o’ God’ s abune lift an’ lan’; an’ his lo’esome luve till his hinmost creatur ’s ayont tellin.#Tak tent as ye read: thar’e no mony grander kirk sangs nor this.
Till the sang-maister on Gittith:#Headins, & c. ane heigh-lilt o’ David’s.
1O Lord, Laird#8:1 Ps 2:4; Laird o’ the lan’, & c. o’ us a’, how lordlie ’s thy name atowre a’ the yirth; wha setten haist thy nameliheid abune the hevins.#Ps 113:4; 148:13
2Frae#Mat 11:25; 21:16 bairnies’ mouthes an’ weanies fine, ye hae ettled might again a’ yer faes; that the wrangdoer baith an’ wha rights himsel,#Ps 44:16 ye may whush them ane wi’ anither.
3Gin I leuk till thy lift, that fingir-wark o’ thine; till the mune an’ the starn ye hae set sae sikker:
4What ’s man,#Job 7:17; Ps 144:3; Hebr 2:6 quo’ I, that ye bear him in min’; or ane o’ yird’s bairns, ye suld mak him niebor?
5Yet ye thol’d him but a thought frae God;#8:5 Heb. Ye made him but a thought laigher nor God. ye hae theekit him roun’ wi’ gudeliheid an’ gree:
6Ye#Gen 1:26, 28 hae gien till himsel maistership an’ a’ owre yer ain han’s warks; ye#1 Cor 15:27; Hebr 2:8 hae putten a’-thing laigh aneth his feet.
7Beasties#8:7 Heb. a’ fe, siclike as sheep, gaits, an’ sma’ beiss. sma’ an’ owsen grit thegither; aye, an’ the field-gaen deer forby:
8The flier i’ the lift an’ the soomer i’ the sea, an’ a’ that gaes ben thro’ the troghs o’ the sea.
9O Lord, Laird o’ us a’, how heigh owre a’ the yirth ’s that name o’ thine!#8:9 An it be e’en abune the hevins, it may weel be heigh abune the yirth.
