The Book of Psalms, Chapter 8
|
1 |
O LORD, our Lord, how excellent is thy name in all the earth! who
hast set thy glory above the heavens.
|
2 |
Out of the mouth of babes and sucklings hast thou ordained
strength because of thine enemies, that thou mightest still the enemy
and the avenger.
|
3 |
When I consider thy heavens, the work of thy fingers, the moon and
the stars, which thou hast ordained;
|
4 |
What is man, that thou art mindful of him? and the son of man,
that thou visitest him?
|
5 |
For thou hast made him a little lower than the angels, and hast
crowned him with glory and honour.
|
6 |
Thou madest him to have dominion over the works of thy hands; thou
hast put all things under his feet:
|
7 |
All sheep and oxen, yea, and the beasts of the field;
|
8 |
The fowl of the air, and the fish of the sea, and whatsoever
passeth through the paths of the seas.
|
9 |
O LORD our Lord, how excellent is thy name in all the earth!
