Psalm 8

Revised Geneva Translation

8 O LORD, our Lord, how excellent is Your Name in all the world; Who has set Your Glory above the heavens!

² Out of the mouth of children and infants You have ordained strength, because of Your enemies; that You might cease the enemy and the avenger.

³ When I behold Your heavens, the works of Your fingers; the moon and the stars which You have ordained,

⁴ what is man that You are mindful of him; and the son of man that You seek him?

⁵ For You have made him a little lower than God and crowned him with glory and worship.

⁶ You have made him to have dominion over the works of Your hands. You have put all things under his feet,

⁷ all sheep and oxen; indeed, and the beasts of the field,

⁸ the birds of the air and the fish of the sea; that which passes through the paths of the seas.

⁹ O LORD, our Lord, how excellent is Your Name in all the world! To him who excels upon Muth Labben: A Psalm of David.
