Psalm 8 (New International Version)
View In My BibleFor the director of music. According to "gittith." A psalm of David.
1 O LORD, our Lord, how majestic is your name1 in all the earth! You have set your glory2 above the heavens.3 2 From the lips of children and infants you have ordained praisea4 because of your enemies, to silence the foe5 and the avenger. 3 When I consider your heavens,6 the work of your fingers,7 the moon and the stars,8 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?9 5 You made him a little lower than the heavenly beingsb10 and crowned him with glory and honor.11 6 You made him ruler12 over the works of your hands;13 you put everything under his feet:1415 7 all flocks and herds,16 and the beasts of the field,17 8 the birds of the air, and the fish of the sea,18 all that swim the paths of the seas. 9 O LORD, our Lord, how majestic is your name in all the earth!19Scripture quoted by permission.
