Psalm

8 O Jehovah our Lord, how majestic your name is throughout the earth;

You have set your splendor even higher than the heavens!*+

 2 Out of the mouth of children and infants+ you have established strength

On account of your adversaries,

To silence the enemy and the avenger.

 3 When I see your heavens, the works of your fingers,

The moon and the stars that you have prepared,+

 4 What is mortal man that you keep him in mind,

And a son of man that you take care of him?+

 5 You made him a little lower than godlike ones,*

And you crowned him with glory and splendor.

 6 You gave him dominion over the works of your hands;+

You have put everything under his feet:

 7 All the flocks and cattle,

As well as the wild animals,*+

 8 The birds of the heavens and the fish of the sea,

Whatever passes through the paths of the seas.
