Psalm 8

¹ O LORD, our Lord,
how majestic is your name in all the earth!
You have set your splendor above the heavens.

² From the mouths of infants and nursing babes
you have established strength because of your foes,
to silence the enemy and the avenger.

³ When I look at your heavens, the work of your fingers,
the moon and the stars that you have set in place—

⁴ what is a human being that you remember him,
a son of man that you attend to him?

⁵ Yet you have made him a little lower than God,
and you crown him with glory and honor.

⁶ You give him dominion over the works of your hands;
you have put all things under his feet:

⁷ sheep and oxen, all of them,
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!
