O Lord, our Lord, how majestic is thy name in all the earth! Thou whose glory above the heavens is chanted
Psalms 8
English - RSV 1952
1
2
by the mouth of babes and infants, thou hast founded a bulwark because of thy foes, to still the enemy and the avenger.
3
When I look at thy heavens, the work of thy fingers, the moon and the stars which thou hast established;
4
what is man that thou art mindful of him, and the son of man that thou dost care for him?
5
Yet thou hast made him little less than God, and dost crown him with glory and honor.
6
Thou hast given him dominion over the works of thy hands; thou hast put all things under his feet,
7
all sheep and oxen, and also the beasts of the field,
8
the birds of the air, and the fish of the sea, whatever passes along the paths of the sea.
9
O Lord, our Lord, how majestic is thy name in all the earth!
