Psalm
Psalms, 8
To the director upon the Gitʹtith.*1 A melody of David.
1 O Jehovah our Lord,*1 how majestic your name is in all the earth, You whose dignity is recounted*2 above the heavens!
|
2 Out of the mouth of children and sucklings you have founded*1 strength, On account of those showing hostility to you, So as to make the enemy and the one taking his vengeance desist.
|
3 When I see your heavens, the works of your fingers, The moon and the stars that you have prepared,
4 What is mortal man that you keep him in mind, And the son of earthling man that you take care of him?
5 You also proceeded to make him a little less than godlike ones,*1 And with glory and splendor you then crowned him.
|
6 You make him dominate over the works of your hands; Everything you have put under his feet:
7 Small cattle*1 and oxen, all of them, And also the beasts of the open field,
|
8 The birds of heaven and the fish of the sea, Anything passing through the paths of the seas.
9 O Jehovah our Lord, how majestic your name is in all the earth!
