Chapter 8

God is wonderful in his works; especially in mankind, singularly exalted by the incarnation of Christ.

1. 1

   Unto the end, for the presses: a psalm for David.

2. 2

   O Lord, our Lord, how admirable is thy name in the whole earth!

3. 3

   Out of the mouth of infants and of sucklings thou hast perfected praise, because of thy enemies, that thou mayst destroy the enemy and the avenger.

4. 4

   For I will behold thy heavens, the works of thy fingers: the moon and the stars which thou hast founded.

5. 5

   What is man, that thou art mindful of him? or the son of man, that thou visitest him?

6. 6

   Thou hast made him a little less than the angels, thou hast crowned him with glory and honour: 7 and hast set him over the works of thy hands.

7. 8

   Thou hast subjected all things under his feet, all sheep and oxen: moreover, the beasts also of the fields.

8. 9

   The birds of the air, and the fishes of the sea, that pass through the paths of the sea.

9. 10

   O Lord, our Lord, how admirable is thy name in the whole world!
