Psalms - Chapter 8 | English Standard Version

  • 1. To the choirmaster: according to The Gittith. A Psalm of David. O LORD, our Lord, how majestic is your name in all the earth! You have set your glory above the heavens.
  • 2. Out of the mouth of babes and infants, you have established strength because of your foes, to still the enemy and the avenger.
  • 3. When I look at your heavens, the work of your fingers, the moon and the stars, which you have set in place,
  • 4. what is man that you are mindful of him, and the son of man that you care for him?
  • 5. Yet you have made him a little lower than the heavenly beings and crowned him with glory and honor.
  • 6. You have given him dominion over the works of your hands; you have put all things under his feet,
  • 7. all sheep and oxen, and also the beasts of the field,
  • 8. the birds of the heavens, and the fish of the sea, whatever passes along the paths of the seas.
  • 9. O LORD, our Lord, how majestic is your name in all the earth!
