Psalms ā Chapter 8
A messianic psalm of DavidāHe says that babes and children praise the LordāHe asks, What is man, that Thou art mindful of him?
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 ababes and sucklings hast thou ordained strength because of thine enemies, that thou mightest still the enemy and the avenger.
3
When I aconsider thy bheavens, the cwork of thy fingers, the dmoon and the stars, which thou hast ordained;
5
For thou hast made him a little alower than the bangels, and hast crowned him with glory and honour.
6
Thou madest him to have adominion over the works of thy hands; thou hast put all things under his feet:
7
All asheep 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!
