8:1 To the chief Musician upon Gittith, A Psalm of David. O LORD our Lord, how excellent is thy name in all the earth! who hast set thy glory above the heavens.

8:2 Out of the mouth of babes and sucklings hast thou ordained strength because of thy enemies, that thou mightest still the enemy and the avenger.

8:3 When I consider thy heavens, the work of thy fingers; the moon and the stars, which thou hast ordained;

8:4 What is man, that thou art mindful of him? and the son of man, that thou visitest him?

8:5 For thou hast made him a little lower than the angels, and hast crowned him with glory and honor.

8:6 Thou hast made him to have dominion over the works of thy hands; thou hast put all things under his feet:

8:7 All sheep and oxen, yes, and the beasts of the field;

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