PSALM 8

 (KJV)

O LORD, our Lord,

how excellent is thy name in all the earth!

who hast set thy glory above the heavens.

 

When I consider thy heavens...

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.

 

When I consider thy heavens,

the work of thy fingers,

the moon and the stars,

which thou hast ordained;

 

What is man, that thou art mindful of him?

and the son of man, that thou visitest him?

 

For thou hast made him a little lower than the angels,

and hast crowned him with glory and honour.

Thou madest him to have dominion over the works of thy hands;

thou hast put all things under his feet:

All sheep and oxen, yea, and the beasts of the field;

The fowl of the air, and the fish of the sea,

and whatsoever passeth through the paths of the seas.

 

O LORD our Lord, how excellent is thy name in all the earth!
