Psalms 8
1
LORD, our Lord, how majestic is your name in all the earth!
2
From the lips of babes and infants you have established strength,
3
When I consider your heavens, the work of your fingers,
4
what is man, that you think of him?
5
For you have made him a little lower than the angels,1
6
You make him ruler over the works of your hands.
7
All sheep and cattle,
yes, and the animals of the field, 8 the birds of the sky, the fish of the sea, 9 LORD, our Lord,
how majestic is your name in all the earth!
yes, and the animals of the field, 8 the birds of the sky, the fish of the sea, 9 LORD, our Lord,
how majestic is your name in all the earth!
