Psalms

Chapter 8

  1. 1

    O Lord our Lord, how excellent is thy name in all the earth! who hast set thy glory above the heavens.

  2. 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. 3

    When I consider thy heavens, the work of thy fingers, the moon and the stars, which thou hast ordained;

  4. 4

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

  5. 5

    For thou hast made him a little lower than the angels, and hast crowned him with glory and honour.

  6. 6

    Thou madest him to have dominion over the works of thy hands; thou hast put all things under his feet:

  7. 7

    All sheep and oxen, yea, and the beasts of the field;

  8. 8

    The fowl of the air, and the fish of the sea, and whatsoever passeth through the paths of the seas.

  9. 9

    O Lord our Lord, how excellent is thy name in all the earth!
