PSALM 8
1For the lead player, on the gittith, a David psalm.
2LORD, our Master,
how majestic Your name in all the earth!
Whose splendor was told over the heavens.
3From the mouth of babes and sucklings
You founded strength
on account of Your foes
to put an end to enemy and avenger.
4When I see Your heavens, the work of Your fingers,
the moon and the stars You fixed firm,
5“What is man that You should note him,
and the human creature, that You pay him heed,
6and You make him little less than the gods,
with glory and grandeur You crown him?
7You make him rule over the work of Your hands.
All things You set under his feet.
8Sheep and oxen all together,
and also the beasts of the field,
9birds of the heavens and fish of the sea,
what moves on the paths of the seas.”
10LORD, our Master,
