Psalm 8
O Lord, our Lord,
how majestic is your name in all the earth!
Your glory is chanted above the heavens.
by the mouths of babes and infants:
you have set up a defense against your foes,
to still the enemy and the avenger.
When I look at your heavens, the work of your fingers,
the moon and the stars which you have established;
what are human beings that you are mindful of them,
mortals that you care for them?
Yet you have made them little less than God,
and crowned them with glory and honor.
You have given them dominion over the works of your hands;
you have put all things under their feet,
all sheep and oxen,
and also the beasts of the field,
the birds of the air, and the fish of the sea,
whatever passes along the paths of the seas.
O Lord, our Lord,
how majestic is your name in all the earth!
