Psalms 8

To the director; for the wine vats; a psalm to David.

8:1O lord, our Lord, how wonderful is your name in all the earth. For your majesty was lifted up above the heavens.

8:2From out of the mouths of infants and ones nursing you ready praise because of your enemies, to depose the enemy and the avenger.

8:3For I shall see the heavens, the works of your fingers; the moon and stars which you founded.

8:4What is man that you remember him? or a son of man that you visit him?

8:5You lessened him short of any of the angels; with glory and honor you crowned him;

8:6and you placed him over the works of your hands. All things you submitted underneath his feet --

8:7sheep and oxen all together, and still also the cattle of the plain,

8:8the winged creatures of the heaven, and the fishes of the sea -- the ones traveling over the paths of the seas.

8:9O lord, our Lord, how wonderful is your name in all the earth.
