Psalm 8


How Majestic Is Your Name

For the choir director. According to the Gittith. A Psalm of David.

O Yahweh, our Lord,
How majestic is Your name in all the earth,
Who 1adisplays Your splendor above the heavens!

2
aFrom the mouth of infants and nursing babies You have established 1bstrength
Because of Your adversaries,
To make cthe enemy and the revengeful cease.


3
When I asee bYour heavens, the work of Your fingers,
The cmoon and the stars, which You have established;

4
aWhat is man that You remember him,
And the son of man that You care for him?

5
Yet You have made him a alittle lower than the 1angels,
And bYou crown him with cglory and majesty!

6
You make him to arule over the works of Your hands;
You have bput all things under his feet,

7
All sheep and oxen,
And also the animals of the field,

8
The birds of the heavens and the fish of the sea,
Whatever passes through the paths of the seas.


9
aO Yahweh, our Lord,
How majestic is Your name in all the earth!
