Psalms 8
1 For the end, concerning the
wine-presses, a Psalm of David.
2 O Lord, our Lord, how wonderful is
thy name in all the earth! for thy magnificence is exalted above the heavens.
3 aMat. 21. 16.
Out of the mouth of babes and sucklings hast thou perfected praise, because of
thine enemies; that thou mightest put down the enemy and avenger.
4 For I will regard the heavens, the
work of thy fingers; the moon and stars, which thou hast established.
5 bHeb. 2. 6-9.
What is man, that thou art mindful of him? or the son of man, that thou
visitest him? 6 Thou madest him a
little less than angels, thou hast crowned him with glory and honour;
7 and thou hast set him over the works
of thy hands: thou hast put all things under his feet:
8 sheep and all
cGr. cows.oxen, yea, and the cattle of the field;
9 the birds of the sky, and the fish
of the sea, the creatures passing through the paths
of the sea. 10 O Lord our Lord, how
wonderful is thy name in all the earth!
