Psalm 8
ESV Parallel NET [BSB CSB ESV HCS KJV ISV NAS NET NIV NLT HEB]
English Standard VersionNET Bible
1O LORD, our Lord, how majestic is your name in all the earth! You have set your glory above the heavens.1For the music director, according to the gittith style; a psalm of David. O LORD, our Lord, how magnificent is your reputation throughout the earth! You reveal your majesty in the heavens above!
2Out of the mouth of babies and infants, you have established strength because of your foes, to still the enemy and the avenger.2From the mouths of children and nursing babies you have ordained praise on account of your adversaries, so that you might put an end to the vindictive enemy.
3When I look at your heavens, the work of your fingers, the moon and the stars, which you have set in place,3When I look up at the heavens, which your fingers made, and see the moon and the stars, which you set in place,
4what is man that you are mindful of him, and the son of man that you care for him?4Of what importance is the human race, that you should notice them? Of what importance is mankind, that you should pay attention to them,
5Yet you have made him a little lower than the heavenly beings and crowned him with glory and honor.5and make them a little less than the heavenly beings? You grant mankind honor and majesty;
6You have given him dominion over the works of your hands; you have put all things under his feet,6you appoint them to rule over your creation; you have placed everything under their authority,
7all sheep and oxen, and also the beasts of the field,7including all the sheep and cattle, as well as the wild animals,
8the birds of the heavens, and the fish of the sea, whatever passes along the paths of the seas.8the birds in the sky, the fish in the sea and everything that moves through the currents of the seas.
9O LORD, our Lord, how majestic is your name in all the earth!9O LORD, our Lord, how magnificent is your reputation throughout the earth!
