| 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! |
