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