Thou whose glory above the heavens is chanted
8 ² by the mouth of babes and infants,
thou hast founded a bulwark because of thy foes,
to still the enemy and the avenger.

8 ³ When I look at thy heavens, the work of thy fingers,
the moon and the stars which thou hast established;
8 ⁴ what is man that thou art mindful of him,
and the son of man that thou dost care for him?
8 ⁵ Yet thou hast made him little less than God,
and dost crown him with glory and honor.
8 ⁶ Thou hast given him dominion over the works of thy hands;
thou hast 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 Lord, our Lord,
how majestic is your name in all the earth.
