Psalms 8
God's Glory and Human Dignity[a]
1 O Lord, our Lord,
your greatness is seen in all the world!
Your praise reaches up to the heavens;
2 (a)it is sung by children and babies.
You are safe and secure from all your enemies;
you stop anyone who opposes you.
3 When I look at the sky, which you have made,
at the moon and the stars, which you set in their places—
4 (b)what are human beings, that you think of them;
mere mortals, that you care for them?
5 (c)Yet you made them inferior only to yourself;[b]
you crowned them with glory and honor.
6 (d)You appointed them rulers over everything you made;
you placed them over all creation:
7 sheep and cattle, and the wild animals too;
8 the birds and the fish
and the creatures in the seas.
9 O Lord, our Lord,
your greatness is seen in all the world!
