Psalms 8

For the choir director: A psalm of David, to be accompanied by a stringed instrument.a

O LORD, our Lord, your majestic name fills the earth!
Your glory is higher than the heavens.

Psalm 8^a

For the director of music. According to gittith.b A psalm of David.

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

You have taught children and infants
to tell of your strength,b
silencing your enemies
and all who oppose you.

Through the praise of children and infants
you have established a stronghold against your enemies,
to silence the foe and the avenger.

When I look at the night sky and see the work of your fingers —
the moon and the stars you set in place —

When I consider your heavens,
the work of your fingers,
the moon and the stars,
which you have set in place,

what are mere mortals that you should think about them,
human beings that you should care for them?c

what is mankind that you are mindful of them,
human beings that you care for them?c

Yet you made them only a little lower than Godd
and crowned theme with glory and honor.

You have made themd a little lower than the angelse
and crowned themf with glory and honor.

You gave them charge of everything you made,
putting all things under their authority —

You made them rulers over the works of your hands;
you put everything under theirg feet:

the flocks and the herds
and all the wild animals,

all flocks and herds,
and the animals of the wild,

the birds in the sky, the fish in the sea,
and everything that swims the ocean currents.

the birds in the sky,
and the fish in the sea,
all that swim the paths of the seas.

O LORD, our Lord, your majestic name fills the earth!

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