King James VersionPsalms8

Psalms

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!
