Psalms 8

NEW JERUSALEM	DOUAI-RHEIMS
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,	1 Unto the end, for the presses: a psalm of David.
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.	2 O Lord our Lord, how admirable is thy name in the whole earth! For thy magnificence is elevated above the heavens.
3 I look up at your heavens, shaped by your fingers, at the moon and the stars you set firm-	3 Out of the mouth of infants and of sucklings thou hast perfected praise, because of thy enemies, that thou mayst destroy the enemy and the avenger.
4 what are human beings that you spare a thought for them, or the child of Adam that you care for him?	4 For I will behold thy heavens, the works of thy fingers: the moon and the stars which thou hast founded.
5 Yet you have made him little less than a god, you have crowned him with glory and beauty,	5 What is man that thou art mindful of him? or the son of man that thou visitest hi?
6 made him lord of the works of your hands, put al things under his feet,	6 Thou hast made him a little less than the angels, thou hast crowned him with glory and honour:
7 sheep and cattle, all of them, and even the wild beasts,	7 and hast set him over the works of thy hands.
8 birds in the sky, fish in the sea, when he makes his way across the ocean.	8 Thou hast subjected all things under his feet, all sheep and oxen: moreover the beasts also of the fields.
9 Yahweh our Lord, how majestic your name throughout the world!	9 The birds of the air, and the fishes of the sea, that pass through the paths of the sea.
	10 O Lord our Lord, how admirable is thy name in all the earth!
