Psalm 8

¹ LORD, our Lord,
   how majestic is your name in all the earth!
   You have set your glory in the heavens. 
² Through the praise of children and infants
   you have established a stronghold against your enemies,
   to silence the foe and the avenger. 
³ When I consider your heavens,
   the work of your fingers,
   the moon and the stars,
   which you have set in place, 
⁴ what is mankind that you are mindful of them,
   human beings that you care for them?
⁵ You have made them a little lower than the angels
   and crowned them with glory and honor. 
⁶ You made them rulers over the works of your hands;
   you put everything under their feet: 
⁷ all flocks and herds,
   and the animals of the wild, 
⁸ the birds in the sky,
   and the fish in the sea,
   all that swim the paths of the seas.
⁹ LORD, our Lord,
   how majestic is your name in all the earth!
