Psalms - Chapter 8 | American Standard Version

  • 1. For the Chief Musician; set to the Gittith. A Psalm of David. O Jehovah, our Lord, How excellent is thy name in all the earth, Who hast set thy glory upon the heavens!
  • 2. Out of the mouth of babes and sucklings hast thou established strength, Because of thine adversaries, That thou mightest still the enemy and the avenger.
  • 3. When I consider thy heavens, the work of thy fingers, The moon and the stars, which thou hast ordained;
  • 4. What is man, that thou art mindful of him? And the son of man, that thou visitest him?
  • 5. For thou hast made him but little lower than God, And crownest him with glory and honor.
  • 6. Thou makest him to have dominion over the works of thy hands; Thou hast put all things under his feet:
  • 7. All sheep and oxen, Yea, and the beasts of the field,
  • 8. The birds of the heavens, and the fish of the sea, Whatsoever passeth through the paths of the seas.
  • 9. O Jehovah, our Lord, How excellent is thy name in all the earth!
