Psalms 8

¹To him that excelleth on Gittith. A Psalme of Dauid. O Lord our Lord, how excellent is thy Name in all the worlde! which hast set thy glory aboue the heauens.

²Out of the mouth of babes and suckelings hast thou ordeined strength, because of thine enemies, that thou mightest still the enemie and the auenger.

³When I beholde thine heauens, euen the workes of thy fingers, the moone and the starres which thou hast ordeined,

⁴What is man, say I, that thou art mindefull of him? and the sonne of man, that thou visitest him?

⁵For thou hast made him a little lower then God, and crowned him with glory and worship.

⁶Thou hast made him to haue dominion in the workes of thine hands: thou hast put all things vnder his feete:

⁷All sheepe and oxen: yea, and the beastes of the fielde:

⁸The foules of the ayre, and the fish of the sea, and that which passeth through the paths of the seas.

⁹O Lord our Lord, howe excellent is thy Name in all the world!

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!
