Psalms 8

KING JAMES BIBLE	NEW JERUSALEM
1 O LORD our Lord, how excellent is thy name in all the earth! who hast set thy glory above the heavens.	1 [For the choirmaster On the . . . of Gath Psalm Of David] Yahweh our Lord, how majestic is your namethroughout the world! Whoever keeps singing of your majesty higher than the heavens,
2 Out of the mouth of babes and sucklings hast thou ordained strength because of thine enemies, that thou mightest still the enemy and the avenger.	2 even through the mouths of children, or of babes in arms, you make him a fortress, firm against yourfoes, to subdue the enemy and the rebel.
3 When I consider thy heavens, the work of thy fingers, the moon and the stars, which thou hast ordained;	3 I look up at your heavens, shaped by your fingers, at the moon and the stars you set firm-
4 What is man, that thou art mindful of him? and the son of man, that thou visitest him?	4 what are human beings that you spare a thought for them, or the child of Adam that you care for him?
5 For thou hast made him a little lower than the angels, and hast crowned him with glory and honour.	5 Yet you have made him little less than a god, you have crowned him with glory and beauty,
6 Thou madest him to have dominion over the works of thy hands; thou hast put all things under his feet:	6 made him lord of the works of your hands, put al things under his feet,
7 All sheep and oxen, yea, and the beasts of the field;	7 sheep and cattle, all of them, and even the wild beasts,
8 The fowl of the air, and the fish of the sea, and whatsoever passeth through the paths of the seas.	8 birds in the sky, fish in the sea, when he makes his way across the ocean.
9 O LORD our Lord, how excellent is thy name in all the earth!	9 Yahweh our Lord, how majestic your name throughout the world!
