The Book of Psalms
Chapter 8
1 – Unto the end, for the presses: a psalm of David.
2 – O Lord our Lord, how admirable is thy name in the whole earth! For thy magnificence is elevated above the heavens.
3 – Out of the mouth of infants and of sucklings thou hast perfected praise, because of thy enemies, that thou mayst destroy the enemy and the avenger.
4 – For I will behold thy heavens, the works of thy fingers: the moon and the stars which thou hast founded.
5 – What is man that thou art mindful of him? or the son of man that thou visitest hi?
6 – Thou hast made him a little less than the angels, thou hast crowned him with glory and honour:
7 – and hast set him over the works of thy hands.
8 – Thou hast subjected all things under his feet, all sheep and oxen: moreover the beasts also of the fields.
9 – The birds of the air, and the fishes of the sea, that pass through the paths of the sea.
10 – O Lord our Lord, how admirable is thy name in all the earth!
