Psalms 8

King James (Authorized) Version · 9 verses

  1. 1 O LORD our Lord, how excellent is thy name in all the earth! who hast set thy glory above the heavens.
  2. 2 Out of the mouth of babes and sucklings hast thou ordained strength because of thine enemies, that thou mightest still the enemy and the avenger.
  3. 3 When I consider thy heavens, the work of thy fingers, the moon and the stars, which thou hast ordained;
  4. 4 What is man, that thou art mindful of him? and the son of man, that thou visitest him?
  5. 5 For thou hast made him a little lower than the angels, and hast crowned him with glory and honour.
  6. 6 Thou madest him to have dominion over the works of thy hands; thou hast put all things under his feet:
  7. 7 All sheep and oxen, yea, and the beasts of the field;
  8. 8 The fowl of the air, and the fish of the sea, and whatsoever passeth through the paths of the seas.
  9. 9 O LORD our Lord, how excellent is thy name in all the earth!
