Psalms 8

To the chief Musician upon Gittith, A Psalm of David.

1O YhwhH3068 our LordH113, how excellentH117 is thy nameH8034 in all the earthH776! who hast setH5414 thy gloryH1935 above the heavensH8064.

2Out of the mouthH6310 of babesH5768 and sucklingsH3243 hast thou ordainedH3245 strengthH5797 because of thine enemiesH6887, that thou mightest stillH7673 the enemyH341 and the avengerH5358.1

3When I considerH7200 thy heavensH8064, the workH4639 of thy fingersH676, the moonH3394 and the starsH3556, which thou hast ordainedH3559;

4What is manH582, that thou art mindfulH2142 of him? and the sonH1121 of manH120, that thou visitestH6485 him?

5For thou hast made him a littleH4592 lowerH2637 than the angelsH430, and hast crownedH5849 him with gloryH3519 and honourH1926.

6Thou madest him to have dominionH4910 over the worksH4639 of thy handsH3027; thou hast putH7896 all things under his feetH7272:

7All sheepH6792 and oxenH504, yea, and the beastsH929 of the fieldH7704;2

8The fowlH6833 of the airH8064, and the fishH1709 of the seaH3220, and whatsoever passeth throughH5674 the pathsH734 of the seasH3220.

9O YhwhH3068 our LordH113, how excellentH117 is thy nameH8034 in all the earthH776!
