Psalm 8

Revised Version 1895

For the Chief Musician; set to the Gittith. A Psalm of David.

1O LORD, our Lord, how excellent is thy name in all the earth! who hast set thy glory uponH5921 the heavens.
2OutH4100 of the mouth of babes and sucklings hast thou establishedH5414 strength, becauseH5921 of thine adversaries, that thou mightest still the enemy and the avenger.
3When I consider thy heavens, the workH3245 of thy fingers, the moon and the stars, whichH3245 thou hast ordained;
4WhatH834 is manH7200, that thou artH4639 mindful of him? and the son of manH7200, that thou visitest him?
5For thou hast madeH6485 him but little lower thanH3588 God, and crownest him with glory and honour.
6Thou madest him to have dominion over the works of thy hands; thou hast put all things under his feet:
7AllH3605 sheep and oxen, yea, and the beasts of the field;
8The fowl of the air, and the fish of the sea, whatsoeverH3605 passeth throughH3605 the paths of the seas.
9O LORD, our Lord, how excellent is thy name in all the earthH8064!
