To the choir director: on the gittith. A Psalm of David
Psa. 8:1 O Jehovah our Lord, / How excellent is Your name / In all the earth, / You who have set Your glory over the heavens!
Psa. 8:2 Out of the mouths of babes and sucklings / You have established strength / Because of Your adversaries, / To stop the enemy and the avenger.
Psa. 8:3 When I see Your heavens, the works of Your fingers, / The moon and the stars, which You have ordained,
Psa. 8:4 What is mortal man, that You remember him, / And the son of man, that You visit him?
Psa. 8:5 You have made Him a little lower than angels / And have crowned Him with glory and honor.
Psa. 8:6 For You have caused Him to rule over the works of Your hands; / You have put all things under His feet:
Psa. 8:7 All sheep and oxen, / As well as the beasts of the field,
Psa. 8:8 The birds of heaven and the fish of the sea, / Whatever passes through the paths of the seas.
Psa. 8:9 O Jehovah our Lord, / How excellent is Your name / In all the earth!
