To the chief musician on Gittith, a psalm of David
8
📚✭O LORD✭, our Lord, how excellent is your
name in all the earth!
You have set your glory
above the heavens.
2 📚✭Out of the mouth of babes and
infants you have ordained strength
because of your enemies,
so that you may silence
the enemy and the avenger.
3 📚✭When I consider your heavens,
the work of your fingers,
the moon and the stars,
which you have ordained,
4 📚✭What is man,
that you are mindful of him?
and the son of man,
that you visit him?
5 📚For you have made him
a little lower✭ than the angels,
and have crowned✭ him
with glory and honour.
6 📚✭You caused him to have dominion
over the works of your hands.
You put all things under
his feet;
7 📚✭All sheep and oxen, yes,
and the beasts of the field,
8 📚The birds of the air,
and the fish of the sea,
and whatever passes through
the paths of the seas.
9 📚✭O LORD our Lord,
how excellent is your
name in all the earth!
