Psalm 8

The Bible in Basic English BBE

1 <To the chief music-maker on the Gittith. A Psalm. Of David.> O Lord, our Lord, whose glory is higher than the heavens, how noble is your name in all the earth!

2 You have made clear your strength even out of the mouths of babies at the breast, because of those who are against you; so that you may put to shame the cruel and violent man.

3 When I see your heavens, the work of your fingers, the moon and the stars, which you have put in their places;

4 What is man, that you keep him in mind? the son of man, that you take him into account?

5 For you have made him only a little lower than the gods, crowning him with glory and honour.

6 You have made him ruler over the works of your hands; you have put all things under his feet;

7 All sheep and oxen, and all the beasts of the field;

8 The birds of the air and the fish of the sea, and whatever goes through the deep waters of the seas.

9 O Lord, our Lord, how noble is your name in all the earth!

Good News Translation GNT

1 O Lord, our Lord, your greatness is seen in all the world! Your praise reaches up to the heavens;

2 it is sung by children and babies. You are safe and secure from all your enemies; you stop anyone who opposes you.

3 When I look at the sky, which you have made, at the moon and the stars, which you set in their places -

4 what are human beings, that you think of them; mere mortals, that you care for them?

5 Yet you made them inferior only to yourself; you crowned them with glory and honor.

6 You appointed them rulers over everything you made; you placed them over all creation:

7 sheep and cattle, and the wild animals too;

8 the birds and the fish and the creatures in the seas.

9 O Lord, our Lord, your greatness is seen in all the world!
