Psalm 8 - Revised Version with Apocrypha 1895

For the Chief Musician; set to the Gittith. A Psalm of David.

¹ O LORD, our Lord, How excellent is thy name in all the earth! Who hast set thy glory upon the heavens.

² Out of the mouth of babes and sucklings hast thou established strength, Because of thine adversaries, That thou mightest still the enemy and the avenger.

³ When I consider thy heavens, the work of thy fingers, The moon and the stars, which thou hast ordained;

⁴ What is man, that thou art mindful of him? And the son of man, that thou visitest him?

⁵ For thou hast made him but little lower than God, And crownest him with glory and honour.

⁶ Thou madest him to have dominion over the works of thy hands; Thou hast put all things under his feet:

⁷ All sheep and oxen, Yea, and the beasts of the field;

⁸ The fowl of the air, and the fish of the sea, Whatsoever passeth through the paths of the seas.

⁹ O LORD, our Lord, How excellent is thy name in all the earth!
