Psalms 8:3-8

3When I 12consider 3Your heavens, the work of Your fingers, The 4moon and the stars, which You have 5ordained;46What is man that You 7take thought of him, And the son of man that You care for him?5Yet You have made him a 8little lower than 9God, And 10You crown him with 11glory and majesty!6You make him to 12rule over the works of Your hands; You have 13put all things under his feet,7All sheep and oxen, And also the 14beasts of the field,8The birds of the heavens and the fish of the sea, Whatever passes through the paths of the seas.
