PSALM 8-Divine Majesty and Human Dignity

PSALM 8

Divine Majesty and Human Dignity

Psalm 8:1 O LORD, our Lord, how majestic is your name in all the earth! You whose glory above the heavens is chanted

Psalm 8:2 by the mouth of babies and infants, you have founded a bulwark because of your foes, to still the enemy and the avenger.

Psalm 8:3 When I look at your heavens, the work of your fingers, the moon and the stars which you have established;

Psalm 8:4 what is man that you are mindful of him, and the son of man that you care for him?

Psalm 8:5 Yet you have made him little less than the angels, and you have crowned him with glory and honor.

Psalm 8:6 You have given him dominion over the works of your hands; you have put all things under his feet,

Psalm 8:7 all sheep and oxen, and also the beasts of the field,

Psalm 8:8 the birds of the air, and the fish of the sea, whatever passes along the paths of the sea.

Psalm 8:9 O LORD, our Lord, how majestic is your name in all the earth!
