The Psalm

Psalms. Chapter 8. For the Chief Musician; on an instrument of Gath. A Psalm by David. LORD, our Lord, how majestic is your name in all the earth! You have set your glory above the heavens! From the lips of babes and infants you have established strength, because of your adversaries, that you might silence the enemy and the avenger. When I consider your heavens, the work of your fingers, the moon and the stars, which you have ordained, what is man, that you think of him? What is the son of man, that you care for him? For you have made him a little lower than the angels, and crowned him with glory and honour. You make him ruler over the works of your hands. You have put all things under his feet: All sheep and cattle, yes, and the animals of the field, the birds of the sky, the fish of the sea, and whatever passes through the paths of the seas. LORD, our Lord, how majestic is your name in all the earth!

For the Chief Musician; on an instrument of Gath
A Psalm by David
LORD, our Lord, how majestic is your name in all the earth
You have set your glory above the heavens
From the lips of babes and infants you have established strength
Because of your adversaries that you might silence the enemy and the avenger
When I consider your heavens the work of your fingers the moon and the stars
Which you have ordained
What is man, that you think of him
What is the son of man, that you care for him
For you have made him a little lower than the angels
And crowned him with glory and honour
You make him ruler over the works of your hands
You have put all things under his feet:
All sheep and cattle, yes, and the animals of the field
The birds of the sky, the fish of the sea
And whatever passes through the paths of the seas
LORD, our Lord, how majestic is your name in all the earth
