Psalms 8

1O Jehovah, our Lord, How excellent is thy name in all the earth, Who hast set thy glory upon the heavens!

1 Jehovah our Lord, how excellent is thy name in all the earth! who hast set thy majesty above the heavens.

2Out of the mouth of babes and sucklings hast thou established strength, Because of thine adversaries, That thou mightest still the enemy and the avenger.

2 Out of the mouth of babes and sucklings hast thou established praise because of thine adversaries, to still the enemy and the avenger.

3When I consider thy heavens, the work of thy fingers, The moon and the stars, which thou hast ordained;

3 When I see thy heavens, the work of thy fingers, the moon and stars, which thou hast established;

4What is man, that thou art mindful of him? And the son of man, that thou visitest him?

4 What is man, that thou art mindful of him? and the son of man, that thou visitest him?

5For thou hast made him but little lower than God, And crownest him with glory and honor.

5 Thou hast made him a little lower than the angels, and hast crowned him with glory and splendour.

6Thou makest him to have dominion over the works of thy hands; Thou hast put all things under his feet:

6 Thou hast made him to rule over the works of thy hands; thou hast put everything under his feet:

7All sheep and oxen, Yea, and the beasts of the field,

7 Sheep and oxen, all of them, and also the beasts of the field;

8The birds of the heavens, and the fish of the sea, Whatsoever passeth through the paths of the seas.

8 The fowl of the heavens, and the fishes of the sea, [whatever] passeth through the paths of the seas.

9O Jehovah, our Lord, How excellent is thy name in all the earth!

9 Jehovah our Lord, how excellent is thy name in all the earth!
