Psalm 8, NEW KING JAMES VERSION
Prior Chapter   |   Next Chapter

1

O LORD, our Lord,
How excellent is Your name in all the earth,
Who have set Your glory above the heavens!
 

2

Out of the mouth of babes and nursing infants
You have ordained strength,
Because of Your enemies,
That You may silence the enemy and the avenger.
 

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 are mindful of him,
And the son of man that You visit him?
 

5

For You have made him a little lower than the angels,
And You have crowned him with glory and honour.
 

6

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

7

All sheep and oxen —
Even the beasts of the field,
 

8

The birds of the air,
And the fish of the sea
That pass through the paths of the seas.
 

9

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