8:1  (A psalm by David for the music leader.) Our Lord and Ruler, your name is wonderful everywhere on earth! You let your glory be seen in the heavens above.
8:2  With praises from children and from tiny infants, you have built a fortress. It makes your enemies silent, and all who turn against you are left speechless.
8:3  I often think of the heavens your hands have made, and of the moon and stars you put in place.
8:4  Then I ask, “Why do you care about us humans? Why are you concerned for us weaklings?”
8:5  You made us a little lower than you yourself, and you have crowned us with glory and honor.
8:6  You let us rule everything your hands have made. And you put all of it under our power—
8:7  the sheep and the cattle, and every wild animal,
8:8  the birds in the sky, the fish in the sea, and all ocean creatures.
8:9  Our Lord and Ruler, your name is wonderful everywhere on earth!
