Psalm 8

O Lord our Governor, how excellent is your Name in all the world; *

you have set your glory above the heavens!

Out of the mouth of babes and infants you have ordained strength, because of your enemies, *

that you might still the enemy and the avenger.

When I consider your heavens, even the works of your fingers, *

the moon and the stars, which you have ordained.

What is man, that you are mindful of him; *

the son of man, that you visit him?

You made him little lower than the angels, *

to crown him with glory and honor.

You made him to have dominion over the works of your hands, *

and you have put all things in subjection under his feet;

All sheep and oxen, *

even the beasts of the field;

The birds of the air, and the fish of the sea; *

and whatsoever walks through the paths of the seas.

O Lord our Governor, *

how excellent is your Name in all the world!
