Psalm 8 - NKJV Bible Online

Psalm 8

To the Chief Musician. ¹On the instrument of Gath. A Psalm of David.

O Lord, our Lord,

How ^aexcellent is Your name in all the earth,

Who have ^bset Your glory above the heavens!

^aOut of the mouth of babes and nursing infants

You have ¹ordained strength,

Because of Your enemies,

That You may silence ^bthe enemy and the avenger.

When I ^aconsider Your heavens, the work of Your fingers,

The moon and the stars, which You have ordained,

^aWhat is man that You are mindful of him,

And the son of man that You ^bvisit¹ him?

For You have made him a little lower than ¹the angels,

And You have crowned him with glory and honor.

^aYou have made him to have dominion over the works of Your hands;

^bYou have put all things under his feet,

All sheep and oxen—

Even the beasts of the field,

The birds of the air,

And the fish of the sea

That pass through the paths of the seas.

^aO Lord, our Lord,

How excellent is Your name in all the earth!
