Psalms 8

The Lord's Greatness

For the director of music. On the gittith. A psalm of David.

1 Lord our Lord,
    your name is the most wonderful name in all the earth!
    It brings you praise in heaven above.
2 You have taught children and babies
    to sing praises to you
    because of your enemies.
And so you silence your enemies
    and destroy those who try to get even.

3 I look at your heavens,
    which you made with your fingers.
I see the moon and stars,
    which you created.
4 But why are people even important to you?
    Why do you take care of human beings?
5 You made them a little lower than the angels
    and crowned them with glory and honor.
6 You put them in charge of everything you made.
    You put all things under their control:
7 all the sheep, the cattle,
    and the wild animals,
8 the birds in the sky,
    the fish in the sea,
    and everything that lives under water.

9 Lord our Lord,
    your name is the most wonderful name in all the earth!
