Ps. > Chapter 8

1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9

1

O LORD our Lord, how excellent is thy name in all the earth! who hast set thy glory above the heavens.

2

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.

3

When I consider thy heavens, the work of thy fingers, the moon and the stars, which thou hast ordained;

4

What is man, that thou art mindful of him? and the son of man, that thou visitest him?

5

For thou hast made him a little lower than the angels, and hast crowned him with glory and honour.

6

Thou madest him to have dominion over the works of thy hands; thou hast put all things under his feet:

7

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

8

The fowl of the air, and the fish of the sea, and whatsoever passeth through the paths of the seas.

9

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