Psalm 8

New Revised Standard NRS

1 O Lord, our Sovereign, how majestic is your name in all the earth! You have set your glory above the heavens.

2 Out of the mouths of babes and infants you have founded a bulwark because of your foes, to silence the enemy and the avenger.

3 When I look at your heavens, the work of your fingers, the moon and the stars that you have established;

4 what are human beings that you are mindful of them, mortals that you care for them?

5 Yet you have made them a little lower than God, and crowned them with glory and honor.

6 You have given them dominion over the works of your hands; you have put all things under their feet,

7 all sheep and oxen, and also the beasts of the field,

8 the birds of the air, and the fish of the sea, whatever passes along the paths of the seas.

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

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!
