Psalms 8
Of David
1 Yahweh, our Lord, how great your name throughout the earth! Above the heavens is your majesty chanted
2 by the mouths of children, babes in arms. You set your stronghold firm against your foes to subdue enemies and rebels.
3 I look up at your heavens, made by your fingers, at the moon and stars you set in place –
4 ah, what is man that you should spare a thought for him, the son of man that you should care for him?
5 Yet you have made him little less than a god, you have crowned him with glory and splendour,
6 made him lord over the work of your bands, set all things under his feet,
7 sheep and oxen, all these, yes, wild animals too,
8 birds in the air, fish in the sea travelling the paths of the ocean.
9 Yahweh, our Lord, how great your name throughout the earth!
