Psalms Chapter 8

1aTo the choirmaster in singing set to percussion instruments.↑

A Psalm of David.

1bO Lord our Lord,

How excellent your name is in the whole earth!

So set your majesty over the heavens.

2You have decreed strength from the mouth of infants and babies,

Because of your adversaries,

To silence the enemy and avenger.

3When I see your heavens,

The work of your fingers

– The moon and the stars which you have established –

4I ask, “What is man,

That you should remember him?

Or the son of Adam,

That you should visit him?”

5For you made him a little lower than God,

But you have crowned him with honour and majesty.

6You put him in charge of the works of your hands;

You placed everything under his feet:

7Sheep and oxen, all of them,

And also the beasts of the field,

8Birds of the sky

And fish of the sea

And whatever crosses the paths of the seas.

9O Lord our Lord,

How excellent your name is on the whole earth!
