‏ Psalms 8

For the director of music. According to gittith. ^{▼▼Probably a musical term} A psalm of David.

1 Lord, our Lord,
how majestic is your name in all the earth!
You have set your glory
in the heavens.
2 Through the praise of children and infants
you have established a stronghold against your enemies,
to silence the foe and the avenger.
3 When I consider your heavens,
the work of your fingers,
the moon and the stars,
which you have set in place,
4 what is mankind that you are mindful of them,
human beings that you care for them? ^{▼▼Or what is a human being that you are mindful of him, / a son of man that you care for him?}
5 You have made them ^{▼▼Or him} a little lower than the angels ^{▼▼Or than God}
and crowned them ^{▼▼Or him} with glory and honour.
6 You made them rulers over the works of your hands;
you put everything under their ^{▼▼Or made him ruler … ; / … his} feet:
7 all flocks and herds,
and the animals of the wild,
8 the birds in the sky,
and the fish in the sea,
all that swim the paths of the seas.
9 Lord, our Lord,
how majestic is your name in all the earth!
