| Chapter 8 |
| 1 | O LORD, our Lord, how excellent
is thy name in all the earth! who hast set thy glory above 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. |
| 3
| When I consider thy heavens, the work of thy fingers, the
moon and the stars, which thou hast ordained; |
| 4 | What is man,
that thou art mindful of him? and the son of man, that thou visitest him?
|
| 5 | For thou hast made him a little lower than the angels, and hast crowned
him with glory and honour. |
|
6 | Thou madest him to have dominion over
the works of thy hands; thou hast put all things under his feet: |
| 7 |
All sheep and oxen, yea, and the beasts of the field; |
| 8 | The fowl of
the air, and the fish of the sea, and whatsoever passeth through the paths of
the seas. |
| 9
| O LORD our Lord, how excellent is thy name in all the
earth! |
