Psalm 8, NEW AMERICAN STANDARD BIBLE
Prior Chapter  |  Next Chapter

1

O LORD, our Lord,
How majestic is Your name in all the earth,
Who have displayed Your splendor above the heavens!
 

2

From the mouth of infants and nursing babes
You have established strength
Because of Your adversaries,
To make the enemy and the revengeful cease.
 

3

When I consider Your heavens, the work of Your fingers,
The moon and the stars, which You have ordained;
 

4

What is man that You take thought of him,
And the son of man that You care for him?
 

5

Yet You have made him a little lower than God,
And You crown him with glory and majesty!
 

6

You make him to rule over the works of Your hands;
You have put all things under his feet,
 

7

All sheep and oxen,
And also the beasts of the field,
 

8

The birds of the heavens and the fish of the sea,
Whatever passes through the paths of the seas.
 

9

O LORD, our Lord,
How majestic is Your name in all the earth!
