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