Psalm 8
1 O Lord our Governor:
how glorious is your name in all the earth!
2 Your majesty above the heavens is yet recounted:
by the mouths of babes and sucklings.
3 You have founded a strong defence
against your adversaries:
to quell the enemy and the avenger.
4 When I consider your heavens, the work of your fingers:
the moon and the stars which you have set in order,
5 What are we, that you should be mindful of us:
what are we, that you should care for us?
6 Yet you have made us little less than gods:
and have crowned us with glory and honour.
7 You have given us dominion over your handiwork:
and have put all things in subjection beneath our feet,
8 All sheep and oxen:
and all the creatures of the field,
9 The birds of the air and the fish of the sea:
and everything that moves
in the pathways of the great waters.
10 O Lord our Governor:
how glorious is your name in all the earth!
