Psalm 8
- O LORD, our Lord, your majestic name fills the earth!
Your glory is higher than the heavens.
- You have taught children and infants to tell of your strength, silencing your enemies
and all who oppose you.
- When I look at the night sky and see the work of your fingers--
the moon and the stars you set in place--
-
what are mere mortals that you should think about them, human beings that you should care for them?
-
Yet you made them only a little lower than God and crowned them with glory and honor.
-
You gave them charge of everything you made,
putting all things under their authority--
- the flocks and the herds
and all the wild animals,
- the birds in the sky, the fish in the sea,
and everything that swims the ocean currents.
- O LORD, our Lord, your majestic name fills the earth!
