8:1  For the choir director: on the Gittith. A psalm of David. Lord, our Lord, how magnificent is your name throughout the earth! You have covered the heavens with your majesty.
8:2  From the mouths of infants and nursing babies, you have established a stronghold on account of your adversaries in order to silence the enemy and the avenger.
8:3  When I observe your heavens, the work of your fingers, the moon and the stars, which you set in place,
8:4  what is a human being that you remember him, a son of man that you look after him?
8:5  You made him little less than God and crowned him with glory and honor.
8:6  You made him ruler over the works of your hands; you put everything under his feet:
8:7  all the sheep and oxen, as well as the animals in the wild,
8:8  the birds of the sky, and the fish of the sea that pass through the currents of the seas.
8:9  Lord, our Lord, how magnificent is your name throughout the earth!
