Psalms 8

English Standard Version (ESV)

Back to Bible
1 [1]ⓐ O LORD, our Lord, how majestic is yourⓑ name in all the earth! You have set yourⓒ glory above the heavens.
2 ⓓ Out of the mouth of babies and infants, you have establishedⓔ strength because of your foes, to stillⓕ the enemy and the avenger.
3 When Iⓖ look at your heavens, the work of yourⓗ fingers, the moon and the stars,ⓘ which you have set in place,
4 ⓙ what is man that you areⓚ mindful of him, andⓛ the son of man that youⓜ care for him?
5 Yet you have made him a little lower thanⓝ the heavenly beings[2] and crowned him withⓞ glory and honor.
6 You have given himⓟ dominion over the works of your hands; ⓠyou have put all things under his feet,
7 all sheep and oxen, and also the beasts of the field,
8 the birds of the heavens, and the fish of the sea, whatever passes along the paths of the seas.
9 O LORD, our Lord, how majestic is your name in all the earth!
