Psalm 8God’s Glory, Human DignityFor the choir director: on the Gittith.† A psalm of David.1 Lord, our Lord, how magnificent is your name throughout the earth!† You have covered the heavens with your majesty.†† 2 From the mouths of infants and nursing babies,† you have established a stronghold† on account of your adversaries in order to silence the enemy and the avenger. 3 When I observe your heavens, the work of your fingers, the moon and the stars, which you set in place,† 4 what is a human being that you remember him, a son of man† that you look after him?† 5 You made him little less than God†† and crowned him with glory and honor. 6 You made him ruler over the works of your hands; you put everything under his feet:† 7 all the sheep and oxen, as well as the animals in the wild, 8 the birds of the sky, and the fish of the sea that pass through the currents of the seas.† 9 Lord, our Lord, how magnificent is your name throughout the earth!
