8:1  For the choir director. According to gittith. A psalm by David. O Lord, our Lord, how majestic is your name in all the earth! Set this glory of yours above the heavens.
8:2  From the lips of little children and nursing babies you have established strength because of your foes, to put a stop to the enemy and the avenger.
8:3  Whenever I look up at your heavens, the works of your fingers, the moon and the stars, which you have set in place—
8:4  what is man that you remember him, the son of man that you pay attention to him!
8:5  Nevertheless, you make him suffer need, apart from God for a while, but you crown him with glory and honor.
8:6  You make him the ruler over the works of your hands. You put everything under his feet:
8:7  all flocks and cattle, and even the wild animals,
8:8  the birds of the sky, and the fish of the sea, which pass through the currents of the seas.
8:9  O Lord, our Lord, how majestic is your name in all the earth!
