Psalms 8
1 [To the chiefe Musicion vpon Gittith, a Psalme of Dauid.] O Lord our Lord, how excellent is thy name in all the earth! who hast set thy glory aboue the heauens. 2 Out of the mouth of babes and sucklings hast thou ordained strength, because of thine enemies, that thou mightest still the enemie and the auenger.
3 When I consider thy heauens, the worke of thy fingers, the moone and the starres which thou hast ordained; 4 What is man, that thou art mindfull of him? and the sonne of man, that thou visitest him? 5 For thou hast made him a little lower then the Angels; and hast crowned him with glory and honour. 6 Thou madest him to haue dominion ouer the workes of thy hands; thou hast put all things vnder his feete. 7 All sheepe and oxen, yea and the beasts of the field. 8 The foule of the aire, and the fish of the sea, and whatsoeuer passeth through the paths of the seas. 9 O Lord our Lord, how excellent is thy name in all the earth!
