The Book of Psalms 8

Text size

1 O LORD our Lord how excellent is thy name in all the earth who hast set thy glory above the heavens ⚑

2 Out of the mouth of babes and sucklings hast thou ordained strength because of thine enemies that thou mightest still the enemy and the avenger ⚑

3 When I consider thy heavens the work of thy fingers the moon and the stars which thou hast ordained ⚑

4 What is man that thou art mindful of him and the son of man that thou visitest him ⚑

5 For thou hast made him a little lower than the angels and hast crowned him with glory and honour ⚑

6 Thou madest him to have dominion over the works of thy hands thou hast put all things under his feet ⚑

7 All sheep and oxen yea and the beasts of the field ⚑

8 The fowl of the air and the fish of the sea and whatsoever passeth through the paths of the seas ⚑

9 O LORD our Lord how excellent is thy name in all the earth ⚑
