Psalm 8 - King James Version - American Edition King James Version - American Edition
Psalm 8

¹ O Lord our Lord, how excellent is thy name in all the earth! who hast set thy glory above the heavens.

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 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 a little lower than the angels, and hast crowned him with glory and honor.

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, and whatsoever passeth through the paths of the seas.

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