Psalm 8
Berean Literal Bible Par ▾ 

How Majestic Is Your Name!

1For the one directing. According to Gittith. A Psalm of David.

1 O YHWH our Lord,

how majestic is Your name in all the earth,

who have set Your splendor

above the heavens!

2From the mouth of infants and sucklings

You have established strength,

on account of Your adversaries,

to still the enemy and avenger.

3When I see Your heavens,

the works of Your fingers,

the moon and the stars

that You have established—

4what is man that You should remember him,

and the son of man, that You would attend to him?

5And You made him lacking a little from the angels,

and with glory and honor You crowned him.

6You made him to rule over the works of Your hands;

You have placed everything under his feet:

7All sheep and cattle,

and also the beasts of the field,

8the birds of the heavens and the fish of the sea,

those passing on the paths of the seas.

9O YHWH, our Lord,

how majestic is Your name in all the earth!
