Psalms 8 Comparison: Catholic Public Domain vs KJV with Apocrypha
Psalms 8
1Unto the end. For the oil and wine presses. A Psalm of David.
2O Lord, our Lord, how admirable is your name throughout all the earth! For your magnificence is elevated above the heavens.
3Out of the mouths of babes and infants, you have perfected praise, because of your enemies, so that you may destroy the enemy and the revenger.
4For I will behold your heavens, the works of your fingers: the moon and the stars, which you have founded.
5What is man, that you are mindful of him, or the son of man, that you visit him?
6You reduced him to a little less than the Angels; you have crowned him with glory and honor,
7and you have set him over the works of your hands.
8You have subjected all things under his feet, all sheep and oxen, and in addition: the beasts of the field,
9the birds of the air, and the fish of the sea, which pass through the paths of the sea.
10O Lord, our Lord, how admirable is your name throughout all the earth!
Psalms 8
1O Lord our Lord, how excellent is thy name in all the earth! who hast set thy glory above the heavens.
2Out of the mouth of babes and sucklings hast thou ordained strength because of thine enemies, that thou mightest still the enemy and the avenger.
3When I consider thy heavens, the work of thy fingers, the moon and the stars, which thou hast ordained;
4What is man, that thou art mindful of him? and the son of man, that thou visitest him?
5For thou hast made him a little lower than the angels, and hast crowned him with glory and honour.
6Thou madest him to have dominion over the works of thy hands; thou hast put all things under his feet:
7All sheep and oxen, yea, and the beasts of the field;
8The fowl of the air, and the fish of the sea, and whatsoever passeth through the paths of the seas.
9O Lord our Lord, how excellent is thy name in all the earth!
