Psalms 8
How Majestic Is Your Name
1 O Yahweh, our Lord,
How majestic is Your name in all the earth,
Who (F1)(C1)displays Your splendor above the heavens!
2 (C1)From the mouth of infants and nursing babies You have established (F1)(C2)strength
Because of Your adversaries,
To make (C3)the enemy and the revengeful cease.
3 When I (C1)see (C2)Your heavens, the work of Your fingers,
The (C3)moon and the stars, which You have established;
4 (C1)What is man that You remember him,
And the son of man that You care for him?
5 Yet You have made him a (C1)little lower than the (F1)angels,
And (C2)You crown him with (C3)glory and majesty!
6 You make him to (C1)rule over the works of Your hands;
You have (C2)put all things under his feet,
7 All sheep and oxen,
And also the animals of the field,
8 The birds of the heavens and the fish of the sea,
Whatever passes through the paths of the seas.
9 (C1)O Yahweh, our Lord,
How majestic is Your name in all the earth!
