Psalm 8

Hebrew Names Version HNV

1 <<For the Chief Musician; on the gittit. A Psalm by David.>> LORD, our Lord, how majestic is your name in all the eretz, Who has set your glory above the heavens!

2 From the lips of babes and infants you have established strength, Because of your adversaries, that you might silence the enemy and the avenger.

3 When I consider your heavens, the work of your fingers, The moon and the stars, which you have ordained;

4 What is man, that you think of him? The son of man, that you care for him?

5 For you have made him a little lower than God, And crowned him with glory and honor.

6 You make him ruler over the works of your hands. You have put all things under his feet:

7 All sheep and oxen, Yes, and the animals of the field,

8 The birds of the sky, the fish of the sea, And whatever passes through the paths of the seas.

9 LORD, our Lord, How majestic is your name in all the eretz!

The Message Bible MSG

1 God, brilliant Lord, yours is a household name.

2 Nursing infants gurgle choruses about you; toddlers shout the songs That drown out enemy talk, and silence atheist babble.

3 I look up at your macro-skies, dark and enormous, your handmade sky-jewelry, Moon and stars mounted in their settings.

4 Then I look at my micro-self and wonder, Why do you bother with us? Why take a second look our way?

5 Yet we've so narrowly missed being gods, bright with Eden's dawn light.

6 You put us in charge of your handcrafted world, repeated to us your Genesis-charge,

7 Made us lords of sheep and cattle, even animals out in the wild,

8 Birds flying and fish swimming, whales singing in the ocean deeps.

9 God, brilliant Lord, your name echoes around the world.
