Psalms - Chapter 8

Chapter 7 | Psalms | Contents

1 | O Lord, our Lord, how excellent is thy name in all the earth! who hast set thy glory above the heavens.
2 | Out of the mouth of babes and sucklings hast thou ordained strength because of thine enemies, that thou mightest still the enemy and the avenger.
3 | When I consider thy heavens, the work of thy fingers, the moon and the stars, which thou hast ordained;
4 | What is man, that thou art mindful of him? and the son of man, that thou visitest him?
5 | For thou hast made him a little lower than the angels, and hast crowned him with glory and honour.
6 | Thou madest him to have dominion over the works of thy hands; thou hast put all things under his feet:
7 | All sheep and oxen, yea, and the beasts of the field;
8 | The fowl of the air, and the fish of the sea, and whatsoever passeth through the paths of the seas.
9 | O Lord our Lord, how excellent is thy name in all the earth!
