Psalm 8, NEW REVISED STANDARD VERSION
Prior Chapter  |  Next Chapter

1

O Lord, our Sovereign, how majestic is your name in all the earth! You have set your glory above the heavens.
 

2

Out of the mouths of babes and infants you have founded a bulwark because of your foes, to silence the enemy and the avenger.
 

3

When I look at your heavens, the work of your fingers, the moon and the stars that you have established;
 

4

what are human beings that you are mindful of them, mortals that you care for them?
 

5

Yet you have made them a little lower than God, and crowned them with glory and honour.
 

6

You have given them dominion over the works of your hands; you have put all things under their feet,
 

7

all sheep and oxen, and also the beasts of the field,

8

the birds of the air, and the fish of the sea, whatever passes along the paths of the seas.
 

9

O Lord, our Sovereign, how majestic is your name in all the earth!
