| Chapter 8 |
1 | Yahweh, our Lord, how majestic is your name in all the earth, Who has set your glory above the heavens! |
2 | From the lips of babes and infants you have established strength, Because of your adversaries, that you might 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 think of him? The son of man, that you care for him? |
5 | For you have made him a little lower than the angels, And crowned him with glory and honor. |
6 | You make him ruler over the works of your hands. You have put all things under his feet: |
7 | All sheep and oxen, Yes, and the animals of the field, |
8 | The birds of the sky, the fish of the sea, And whatever passes through the paths of the seas. |
9 | Yahweh, our Lord, How majestic is your name in all the earth! Psalm 9 For the Chief Musician. Set to 'The Death of the Son.' A Psalm by David. |
