Psalms 8

The Lord’s Glory and Mankind’s Dignity.

For the music director; on the Gittith. A Psalm of David.

1 Lord, our Lord,
How majestic is Your name in all the earth,
You who have ^{▼▼Lit put
,} ^bdisplayed Your splendor above the heavens!
2 ^cFrom the mouths of infants and nursing babies You have established ^{▼▼Or a strength
,} ^estrength
Because of Your enemies,
To do away with ^fthe enemy and the revengeful.

3 When I ^{▼▼Or see
,} ^hconsider ⁱYour heavens, the work of Your fingers,
The ^jmoon and the stars, which You have set in place;
4 ^kWhat is man that You think of him,
And a son of man that You are concerned about him?
5 Yet You have made him a ^llittle lower than ^{▼▼LXX angels}God,
And ⁿYou crown him with ^oglory and majesty!
6 You have him ^prule over the works of Your hands;
You have ^qput everything under his feet,
7 All sheep and oxen,
And also the animals of the field,
8 The birds of the sky, and the fish of the sea,
Whatever passes through the paths of the seas.

9 ^r Lord, our Lord,
How majestic is Your name in all the earth!
