Psalm 8 - New King James Version

To the Chief Musician.
On the instrument of Gath.

A Psalm of David.

O LORD, our Lord,
How excellent is Your name
in all the earth,
Who have set Your
glory above the heavens!
Out of the mouth of babes
and nursing infants
You have ordained strength,
Because of Your enemies,
That You may silence
the enemy and the avenger.
When I consider Your heavens,
the work of Your fingers,
The moon and the stars,
which You have ordained,
What is man that You are mindful of him,
And the son of man
that You visit him?
For You have made him
a little lower than the angels,
And You have crowned him
with glory and honor.
You have made him to have
dominion over the works of Your hands;
You have put all things
under his feet,
All sheep and oxen—
Even the beasts of the field,
The birds of the air,
And the fish of the sea
That pass through
the paths of the seas.
O LORD, our Lord,
How excellent is Your name
in all the earth!
