Psalm 8

How Majestic Is Your Name8 To the choirmaster: according to The Gittith. A Psalm of David. 1  O Lord, our Lord, how majestic is your name in all the earth! You have set your glory above the heavens. 2  Out of the mouth of babies and infants, you have established strength because of your foes, to still the enemy and the avenger. 3  When I look at your heavens, the work of your fingers, the moon and the stars, which you have set in place, 4  what is man that you are mindful of him, and the son of man that you care for him? 5  Yet you have made him a little lower than the heavenly beings and crowned him with glory and honor. 6  You have given him dominion 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 along the paths of the seas. 9  O Lord, our Lord, how majestic is your name in all the earth!  The Holy Bible: English Standard Version (Wheaton, IL: Crossway Bibles, 2016), Ps 8:title–9.
