Psalm 8
8,6,8,6
^1How excellent in all the earth,
Lord, our Lord, is thy name!
Who hast thy glory far advanc'd
above the starry frame.
^2From infants' and from sucklings' mouth
thou didest strength ordain,
For thy foes' cause, that so thou might'st
th' avenging foe restrain.
^3When I look up unto the heav'ns,
which thine own fingers fram'd,
Unto the moon, and to the stars,
which were by thee ordain'd;
^4Then say I, What is man, that he
remember'd is by thee?
Or what the son of man, that thou
so kind to him should'st be?
^5For thou a little lower hast
him than the angels made;
With glory and with dignity
thou crowned hast his head.
^6Of thy hands' works thou mad'st him lord,
all under's feet didst lay;
^7All sheep and oxen, yea, and beasts
that in the field do stray;
^8Fowls of the air, fish of the sea,
all that pass through the same.
^9How excellent in all the earth,
Lord, our Lord, is thy name!
