Psalm 8  American Standard Version

8 O Jehovah, our Lord, How excellent is thy name in all the earth,
Who hast set thy glory ^[a]upon the heavens!
² Out of the mouth of babes and sucklings hast thou established strength,
Because of thine adversaries,
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 but little lower than ^[b]God,
And crownest him with glory and honor.
⁶ Thou makest 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 birds of the heavens, and the fish of the sea,
Whatsoever passeth through the paths of the seas.
⁹ O Jehovah, our Lord,
How excellent is thy name in all the earth!
