Psalm 8God's Glory, Human Dignity
|
|
|
|
1. Lord, our Lord,
|
|
how magnificent is your name throughout the earth!
|
|
You have covered the heavens with your majesty.
|
|
|
|
2. From the mouths of infants and nursing babies,
|
|
you have established a stronghold
|
|
on account of your adversaries
|
|
in order to silence the enemy and the avenger.
|
|
|
|
3. When I observe your heavens,
|
|
the work of your fingers,
|
|
the moon and the stars,
|
|
which you set in place,
|
|
|
|
4. what is a human being that you remember him,
|
|
a son of man that you look after him?
|
|
|
|
5. You made him little less than God
|
|
and crowned him with glory and honor.
|
|
|
|
6. You made him ruler over the works of your hands;
|
|
you put everything under his feet:
|
|
|
|
7. all the sheep and oxen,
|
|
as well as the animals in the wild,
|
|
|
|
8. the birds of the sky,
|
|
and the fish of the sea
|
|
that pass through the currents of the seas.
|
|
|
|
9. Lord, our Lord,
|
|
how magnificent is your name throughout the earth!
