Psalms 8

1

O Yahweh, our Lord, how majestic is your name in all the earth, Who has set your glory above the heavens!

2

Out of the mouth of babes and infants you have established strength, Because of your adversaries, that you might silence the enemy and the avenger.

3

When I consider your heavens, the work of your fingers, The moon and the stars, which you have ordained;

4

What is man, that you think of him? The son of man, that you care for him?

5

For you have made him a little lower than the angelsHebrew: Elohim, which is usually translated as "God". Septuagint reads "angels.", And crowned him with glory and honor.

6

You make him ruler over the works of your hands. You have put all things under his feet:

7

All sheep and oxen, Yes, and the animals of the field,

8

The birds of the sky, the fish of the sea, And whatever passes through the paths of the seas.

9

O Yahweh, our Lord, How majestic is your name in all the earth!

For the Chief Musician. Set to "The Death of the Son." A Psalm by David.
