Psalms 008
For the Chief Musician; on an instrument
of Gath. A Psalm by David.
1 Yahweh, our Lord, how majestic is your
name in all the earth! You have set your glory above the
heavens!
2 From the lips of babes and infants you
have established strength, because of your adversaries, that you
might silence the enemy and the avenger.
3 When I consider your heavens, the work
of your fingers, the moon and the stars, which you
have ordained,
4 what is man, that you think of him? What is the son of man, that you care
for him?
5 For you have made him a little lower than
the angels,† and crowned him with glory and
honor.
6 You make him ruler over the works of
your hands. You have put all things under his feet:
7 All sheep and cattle, yes, and the animals of the field,
8 the birds ofthe sky, the fish ofthe sea,
and whatever passes through the paths of the seas.
9 Yahweh, our Lord, how majestic is your name in all the
earth!
