Psalms

8 0 To the chief Musician upon ^aGittith, A Psalm of David.

1 O LORD our Lord, ^bhow excellent is thy name in all the earth! who hast set thy glory above the heavens.

2 ^cOut of the mouth of babes and sucklings hast thou ¹ordained strength because of thine enemies, that thou mightest ^dstill the enemy and the avenger.

3 When I ^econsider thy heavens, the work of thy fingers, the moon and the stars, which thou hast ordained;

4 ^fWhat is man, that thou art mindful of him? and the son of man, that thou visitest him?

5 For ^gthou hast made him a little lower than the angels, and hast crowned him with glory and honour.

6 Thou ^hmadest him to have dominion over the works of thy hands; thou hast put all things under his feet:

7 ²All sheep and oxen, yea, and the beasts of the field;

8 The fowl of the air, and the fish of the sea, and whatsoever passeth through the paths of the seas.

9 ⁱO LORD our Lord, ^jhow excellent is thy name in all the earth!
