Psalm 8

1 For the one directing. According to Gittith. A Psalm of David. <span class=|reftext|><a href=|#|><b>1</b></a> O YHWH our Lord, how majestic [is] Your name in all the earth, who have set Your splendor above the heavens!

2 From the mouth of infants and sucklings You have established strength, on account of Your adversaries, to still the enemy and avenger.

3 When I see Your heavens, the works of Your fingers, the moon and the stars that You have established—

4 what [is] man that You should remember him, and the son of man, that You would attend to him?

5 And You made him lacking a little from the angels, and with glory and honor You crowned him.

6 You made him to rule over the works of Your hands; You have placed everything under his feet:

7 All sheep and cattle, and also the beasts of the field,

8 the birds of the heavens and the fish of the sea, those passing [on] the paths of the seas.

9 O YHWH, our Lord, how majestic [is] Your name in all the earth!
