| Chapter 8 |
1 |
For the Chief Musician; set to the Gittith. A Psalm of David. O Jehovah, our Lord, How excellent is thy name in all the earth, Who hast set thy glory upon the heavens! -
|
2 |
Out of the mouth of babes and sucklings hast thou established strength, Because of thine adversaries, That thou mightest still the enemy and the avenger. -
|
3 |
When I consider thy heavens, the work of thy fingers, The moon and the stars, which thou hast ordained; -
|
4 |
What is man, that thou art mindful of him? And the son of man, that thou visitest him? -
|
5 |
For thou hast made him but little lower than God, And crownest him with glory and honor. -
|
6 |
Thou makest him to have dominion over the works of thy hands; Thou hast put all things under his feet: -
|
7 |
All sheep and oxen, Yea, and the beasts of the field, -
|
8 |
The birds of the heavens, and the fish of the sea, Whatsoever passeth through the paths of the seas. -
|
9 |
O Jehovah, our Lord, How excellent is thy name in all the earth! -
