Psalm 8
For the choir director: on the Gittith.a A psalm of David.
how magnificent is your name throughout the earth!b
You have covered the heavens with your majesty.A,c
2 From the mouths of infants and nursing babies,d
you have established a strongholdB
on account of your adversaries
in order 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 a human being that you remember him,
a son of manC that you look after him?f
5 You made him little less than GodD,E
and crowned him with glory and honor.
6 You made him ruler over the works of your hands;
you put everything under his feet:g
as well as the animals in the wild,
and the fish of the sea
that pass through the currents of the seas.h
how magnificent is your name throughout the earth!
