Psalms 8

   |   

How Majestic Is Your Name

To the choirmaster: according to The (a)Gittith.[a] A Psalm of David.

1 O Lord, our Lord,
    how majestic is your (b)name in all the earth!
You have set your (c)glory above the heavens.
2     (d)Out of the mouth of babies and infants,
you have established (e)strength because of your foes,
    to still (f)the enemy and the avenger.

3 When I (g)look at your heavens, the work of your (h)fingers,
    the moon and the stars, (i)which you have set in place,
4 (j)what is man that you are (k)mindful of him,
    and (l)the son of man that you (m)care for him?

5 Yet you have made him a little lower than (n)the heavenly beings[b]
    and crowned him with (o)glory and honor.
6 You have given him (p)dominion over the works of your hands;
    (q)you have put all things under his feet,
7 all sheep and oxen,
    and also the beasts of the field,
8 the birds of the heavens, and the fish of the sea,
    whatever passes along the paths of the seas.

9 O Lord, our Lord,
    how majestic is your name in all the earth!
