Psalm 8

God's Glory, Man's Dignity

For the choir director: on the Gittith.(a) A Davidic psalm.

1 Yahweh, our Lord,
how magnificent is Your name throughout the earth!(b)

You have covered the heavens with Your majesty.[a](c)
2 Because of Your adversaries,
You have established a stronghold[b]
from the mouths of children and nursing infants(d)
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,(e)
4 what is man that You remember him,
the son of man that You look after him?(f)
5 You made him little less than God[c][d]
and crowned him with glory and honor.
6 You made him lord over the works of Your hands;
You put everything under his feet:[e](g)
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.(h)

9 Yahweh, our Lord,
how magnificent is Your name throughout the earth!
