Psalms

8

New International Version

1 For the director of music. According to gittith. A psalm of David. O Lord, our Lord, how majestic is your name in all the earth! You have set your glory above the heavens.

2 you have ordained praise because of your enemies, to silence the foe and the avenger.

3 the work of your fingers, the moon and the stars, which you have set in place,

4 the son of man that you care for him?

5 and crowned him with glory and honor.

6 you put everything under his feet:

7 and the beasts of the field,

8 and the fish of the sea, all that swim the paths of the seas.

9 how majestic is your name in all the earth!
