PSALM 8
To the chief Musician
upon Gittith, A Psalm of David.
God’s Glory Magnified
by His Works and Love.
- O Lord our Lord,
how excellent is thy name in all the earth!
who has set thy glory above the heavens.
- Out of the mouth
of babes and sucklings
hast thou ordained strength because of thine enemies,
that thou mightest still the enemy and the avenger.
- When I consider
thy heavens, the work of thy fingers,
the moon and the stars, which thou hast ordained;
- What is man, that
thou art mindful of him?
and the son of man, that thou visitest him?
- For thou hast made
him a little lower than the angels,
and hast crowned him with glory and honour.
- Thou madest him
to have dominion
over the works of thy hands;
thou hast put all things under his feet:
- All sheep and oxen,
yea,
and the beasts of the field;
- The fowl of the
air, and the fish of the sea,
and whatsoever passeth through the paths of the seas.
- O Lord our Lord,
how excellent is thy name in all the earth!
(KJV)
