Psalm 8

O LORD, our Lord, how majestic is thy name in all the earth!
Thou whose glory above the heavens is chanted

2 by the mouth of babes and infants,
thou hast founded a bulwark because of thy foes,
to still the enemy and the avenger,

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

4 what is man that thou art mindful of him,
and the son of man that thou dost care for him?

5 Yet thou hast made him little less than God,
and dost crown him with glory and honor.

6 Thou hast given him dominion over the works
of thy hands; thou hast put all things under his feet,

7 all sheep and oxen,
and also the beasts of the field,

8 the birds of the air, and the fish of the sea,
whatever passes along the paths of the sea.

9 O LORD, our Lord, how majestic is thy name in all the earth!
