Psalms

Psalm 8

Septuagint Masoretic

For the end, concerning the wine-presses, a Psalm of David.

8:1 O Lord, our Lord, how wonderful is thy name in all the earth! for thy magnificence is exalted above the heavens.

8:2 Out of the mouth of babes and sucklings hast thou perfected praise, because of thine enemies; that thou mightest put down the enemy and avenger.

8:3 For I will regard the heavens, the work of thy fingers; the moon and stars, which thou hast established.

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

8:5 Thou madest him a little less than angels, thou hast crowned him with glory and honour;

8:6 and thou hast set him over the works of thy hands: thou hast put all things under his feet:

8:7 sheep and all oxen, yea and the cattle of the field;

8:8 the birds of the sky, and the fish of the sea, the [creatures] passing through the paths of the sea.

8:9 O Lord our Lord, how wonderful is thy name in all the earth!

To the chief Musician upon Gittith, A Psalm of David.

8:1 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 thine 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 honour.

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

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

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

8:9 O LORD our Lord, how excellent is thy name in all the earth!
