Psalms 8

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

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

1To the Overseer, `On the Gittith.' A Psalm of David. Jehovah, our Lord, How honourable Thy name in all the earth! Who settest thine honour on 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.

2Out of the mouth of babes and sucklings hast thou ordained strength because of thine enemies, that thou mightest still the enemy and the avenger.

2From the mouths of infants and sucklings Thou hast founded strength, Because of Thine adversaries, To still an enemy and a self-avenger.

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

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

3For I see Thy heavens, a work of Thy fingers, Moon and stars that Thou didst establish.

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

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

4What <FI>is<Fi> man that Thou rememberest him? The son of man that Thou inspectest him?

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

5For thou hast made him a little lower than the angels, and hast crowned him with glory and honour.

5And causest him to lack a little of Godhead, And with honour and majesty compassest him.

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

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

6Thou dost cause him to rule Over the works of Thy hands, All Thou hast placed under his feet.

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

7All sheep and oxen, yea, and the beasts of the field;

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

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

8The fowl of the air, and the fish of the sea, and whatsoever passeth through the paths of the seas.

8Bird of the heavens, and fish of the sea, Passing through the paths of the seas!

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

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

9Jehovah, our Lord, How honourable Thy name in all the earth!
