• Psalm 8In Hebrew texts 8:1-9 is numbered 8:2-10.

  • 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?
  • 5 You have made them a little lower than the angels and crowned them with glory and honor.
  • 6 You made them rulers over the works of your hands; you put everything under their 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!
