Psalms 8
The Lord’s Glory and Man’s Dignity.
For the choir director; on the Gittith. A Psalm of David.
1 O Lord, our Lord,How majestic is Your name in all the earth,
Who have ▼
▼ Or set
,
bdisplayed Your splendor above the heavens!2 cFrom the mouth of infants and nursing babes You have established ▼
▼ Or a bulwark
,
estrengthBecause of Your adversaries,
To make fthe enemy and the revengeful cease.
3When I ▼
▼ Or see
,
hconsider iYour heavens, the work of Your fingers,The jmoon and the stars, which You have ▼
▼ Or appointed, fixed
ordained;4 lWhat is man that You ▼
▼ Or remember him
take thought of him,And the son of man that You care for him?
5Yet You have made him a nlittle lower than ▼
▼ Or the angels; Heb Elohim
God,And pYou crown him with qglory and majesty!
6You make him to rrule over the works of Your hands;
You have sput all things under his feet,
7All sheep and oxen,
And also the ▼
▼ Or animals
beasts of the field,8The birds of the heavens and the fish of the sea,
Whatever passes through the paths of the seas.
9 uO Lord, our Lord,
How majestic is Your name in all the earth!
