Psalm 8:1-9 (New International Version)
Psalm 8
For the director of music. According to gittith [a].
A psalm of David.
1 O LORD, our Lord,how majestic is your name in all the earth!
You have set your glory
above the heavens. 2 From the lips of children and infants
you have ordained praise [b]
because of 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 man that you are mindful of him,
the son of man that you care for him? 5 You made him a little lower than the heavenly beings [c]
and crowned him with glory and honor. 6 You made him ruler over the works of your hands;
you put everything under his feet: 7 all flocks and herds,
and the beasts of the field, 8 the birds of the air,
and the fish of the sea,
all that swim the paths of the seas. 9 O LORD, our Lord,
how majestic is your name in all the earth!Footnotes:
