Psalm 8 A psalm of David.
    1 O LORD, our Lord, 
       how majestic is your name in all the earth! 
       You have set your glory 
       above the heavens.
    2 From the lips of children and infants 
       you have ordained praise 
       because of your enemies, 
       to silence the foe and the avenger.
    3 When I consider your heavens, 
       the work of your fingers, 
       the moon and the stars, 
       which you have set in place,
    4 what is man that you are mindful of him, 
       the son of man that you care for him?
    5 You made him a little lower than the heavenly beings 
       and crowned him with glory and honor.
    6 You made him ruler over the works of your hands; 
       you put everything under his feet:
    7 all flocks and herds, 
       and the beasts of the field,
    8 the birds of the air, 
       and the fish of the sea, 
       all that swim the paths of the seas.
    9 O LORD, our Lord, 
       how majestic is your name in all the earth!
