| Chapter 8 |
1 |
Yahweh, our Lord, how majestic is your name in all the earth, Who has set your glory above the heavens!
|
2 |
From the lips of babes and infants you have established strength, Because of your adversaries, that you might silence the enemy and the avenger.
|
3 |
When I consider your heavens, the work of your fingers, The moon and the stars, which you have ordained;
|
4 |
What is man, that you think of him? The son of man, that you care for him?
|
5 |
For you have made him a little lower than the angels, And crowned him with glory and honor.
|
6 |
You make him ruler over the works of your hands. You have put all things under his feet:
|
7 |
All sheep and oxen, Yes, and the animals of the field,
|
8 |
The birds of the sky, the fish of the sea, And whatever passes through the paths of the seas.
|
9 |
Yahweh, our Lord, How majestic is your name in all the earth! Psalm 9 For the Chief Musician. Set to 'The Death of the Son.' A Psalm by David.
