Psalms 8

To the chief Musician. Upon the Gittith. A Psalm of David.

Out of the mouth of babes and sucklings hast thou established praise because of thine adversaries, to still the enemy and the avenger.

When I see thy heavens, the work of thy fingers, the moon and stars, which thou hast established;

What is man, that thou art mindful of him? and the son of man, that thou visitest him?

Thou hast made him a little lower than the angels, and hast crowned him with glory and splendour.

Thou hast made him to rule over the works of thy hands; thou hast put everything under his feet:

Sheep and oxen, all of them, and also the beasts of the field;

The fowl of the heavens, and the fishes of the sea, [whatever] passeth through the paths of the seas.

Jehovah our Lord, how excellent is thy name in all the earth!
