PSALM 8
The glory of the name of Yahweh and the dignity of man
From David
1 O Yahweh our Lord, how glorious is your Name in all the earth, because you have set your glory above the heavens.
2 Through the mouths of young men and children you established your praise, for the sake of your adversaries, to destroy the adversary who takes revenge.
3 For your heavens have seen the work of your fingers; you formed the moon and the stars.
4 What is man that you remember him, and the son of man that you visit him?
5 You made him a little lower than the angels, and covered him with glory and honor;
6 You gave him authority over the work of your hands, and placed everything under his feet:
7 all the sheep and the oxen; also the beasts of the field,
8 the birds of the sky and the fish of the sea that travel the path of the seas.
9 O Yahweh our Lord, how glorious is your Name in all the earth!
