Psalm 8:1-9
1Yahweh, our Lord, how majestic is your name in all the earth, Who has set your glory above the heavens!
2From the lips of babes and infants you have established strength, Because of your adversaries, that you might silence the enemy and the avenger.
3When I consider your heavens, the work of your fingers, The moon and the stars, which you have ordained;
4What is man, that you think of him? The son of man, that you care for him?
5For you have made him a little lower than the angels, And crowned him with glory and honor.
6You make him ruler over the works of your hands. You have put all things under his feet:
7All sheep and oxen, Yes, and the animals of the field,
8The birds of the sky, the fish of the sea, And whatever passes through the paths of the seas.
9Yahweh, our Lord, How majestic is your name in all the earth! Psalm 9 For the Chief Musician. Set to "The Death of the Son." A Psalm by David.
