Psalms 8

NEW JERUSALEM	CATHOLIC PUBLIC DOMAIN
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 oil and wine 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 your name throughout all the earth! For your 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 mouths of babes and infants, you have perfected praise, because of your enemies, so that you may destroy the enemy and the revenger.
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 your heavens, the works of your fingers: the moon and the stars, which you have 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 you are mindful of him, or the son of man, that you visit him?
6 made him lord of the works of your hands, put al things under his feet,	6 You reduced him to a little less than the Angels; you have crowned him with glory and honor,
7 sheep and cattle, all of them, and even the wild beasts,	7 and you have set him over the works of your hands.
8 birds in the sky, fish in the sea, when he makes his way across the ocean.	8 You have subjected all things under his feet, all sheep and oxen, and in addition: the beasts of the field,
9 Yahweh our Lord, how majestic your name throughout the world!	9 the birds of the air, and the fish of the sea, which pass through the paths of the sea.
	10 O Lord, our Lord, how admirable is your name throughout all the earth!
