Psalm 8



O LORD, our Lord,
How majestic is your name in the earth, Who have displayed Your splendor above the heavens! From the mouth of infants and nursing babes you have established strength , because of Your adversaries, to make the enemy and revengeful cease.

When I consider Your heavens, the work of Your fingers, the moon and stars, which you have ordained; What is man that you take thought of him, And the son of man that you care for him? Yet you made him a little lower than the angels, and you crown him with glory and majesty! You make him rule over the works of your hands;

You have put all things under his feet,

All sheep and oxen, and also the beasts of the field, the birds of the heavens and the fish of the sea,

Whatever passes through the paths of the seas.

O LORD, our Lord,
How majestic is Your name in all the earth!
