Psalms 8

Read in parallel →

1 For the end, concerning the wine-presses, a Psalm of David.

2 O Lord, our Lord, how wonderful is thy name in all the earth! for thy magnificence is exalted above the heavens.

3 Out of the mouth of babes and sucklings hast thou perfected praise, because of thine enemies; that thou mightest put down the enemy and avenger.

4 For I will regard the heavens, the work of thy fingers; the moon and stars, which thou hast established.

5 What is man, that thou art mindful of him? or the son of man, that thou visitest him?

6 Thou madest him a little less than angels, thou hast crowned him with glory and honour;

7 and thou hast set him over the works of thy hands: thou hast put all things under his feet:

8 sheep and all oxen, yea, and the cattle of the field;

9 the birds of the sky, and the fish of the sea, the [creatures] passing through the paths of the sea.

10 O Lord our Lord, how wonderful is thy name in all the earth!
