Psalms 8

¹For the music director, on the Gittith. A psalm of David. Yahweh, our Lord, how majestic is your name in all the earth, who put your splendor above the heavens. ²From the mouth of children and infants you have founded strength on account of your enemies, to silence the enemy and the avenger. ³When I look at your heavens, the work of your fingers, the moon and the stars which you set in place— ⁴what is a human being that you think of him? and a child of humankind that you care for him? ⁵And you made him a little lower than heavenly beings, and with glory and with majesty you crowned him. ⁶You make him over the works of your hands; all things you have placed under his feet: ⁷sheep and cattle, all of them, and also the wild animals of the field, ⁸the birds of the sky and the fish of the sea, everything that passes along the paths of seas. ⁹Yahweh, our Lord, how majestic is your name in all of the earth!
