Psalm 8
For the choir director; on the gittith; *Unknown musical term. a psalm by David.
O Lord, our Lord, how majestic is your name throughout the earth!
 
Your glory is sung above the heavens.
From the mouths of little children and infants,
you have built a fortress against your opponents
to silence the enemy and the avenger.
 
When I look at your heavens,
the creation of your fingers,
the moon and the stars that you have set in place—
what is a mortal that you remember him
or the Son of Man that you take care of him?
You have made him a little lower than yourself.
You have crowned him with glory and honor.
You have made him rule what your hands created.
You have put everything under his control:
all the sheep and cattle, the wild animals,
the birds, the fish,
whatever swims in the currents of the seas.
 
O Lord, our Lord, how majestic is your name throughout the earth!
