Psalms 8

Thomson(i) 1 For the conclusion. For the wine presses. A Psalm by David. Lord, our Lord, how thy name ought to be admired in all the earth, since thine excellence is exalted above the heavens! 2 From the mouth of babes and sucklings thou hast perfected praise, on account of thine enemies; [on account] of destroying an enemy and a revenger. 3 When I behold the heavens, the work of thy fingers; the moon and stars which thou hast established, 4 what is man that thou shouldst be mindful of him, or a son of man that thou shouldst visit him! 5 Thou madest him a little lower than angels, with glory and honour thou hast crowned him, 6 and set him over the works of thy hands. Thou hast put all things under his feet; 7 flocks and herds of all sorts; also the beasts of the field; 8 the birds of the air, and fishes of the sea; whatever travel the paths of the seas. 9 O Lord, our Lord, how thy name ought to be admired in all the earth!
