| Chapter 8 |
1 |
{To the chief Musician. Upon the Gittith. A Psalm of David.} Jehovah our Lord, how excellent is thy name in all the earth! who hast set thy majesty above the heavens.
|
2 |
Out of the mouth of babes and sucklings hast thou established praise because of thine adversaries, to still the enemy and the avenger.
|
3 |
When I see thy heavens, the work of thy fingers, the moon and stars, which thou hast established;
|
4 |
What is man, that thou art mindful of him? and the son of man, that thou visitest him?
|
5 |
Thou hast made him a little lower than the angels, and hast crowned him with glory and splendour.
|
6 |
Thou hast made him to rule over the works of thy hands; thou hast put everything under his feet:
|
7 |
Sheep and oxen, all of them, and also the beasts of the field;
|
8 |
The fowl of the heavens, and the fishes of the sea, [whatever] passeth through the paths of the seas.
|
9 |
Jehovah our Lord, how excellent is thy name in all the earth!
