katapi HOME Psalms 8:0-9 - God's Glory & Man's dignity.  Psalm 8

8 0 To the choirmaster: according to The Gittith. A Psalm of David.

8 1 You whose glory above the heavens is chanted
8 2 by the mouth of babes and infants,
you have founded a bulwark because of your foes,
to still the enemy and the avenger.

8 3 When I look at your heavens, the work of your fingers,
the moon and the stars which you have established;
8 4 what is man that you are mindful of him,
and the son of man that you care for him?
8 5 Yet you have made him little less than God,
and crown him with glory and honour.
8 6 You have given him dominion over the works of your hands;
you have put all things under his feet,
8 7 all sheep and oxen,
and also the beasts of the field,
8 8 the birds of the air, and the fish of the sea,
whatever passes along the paths of the sea.

8 9 O Yahweh, our Lord,
how majestic is your name in all the earth.
