Psalm 8 -- The Glory of the LORD in Creation

 

Psalm 8

The Glory of the LORD in Creation - A Psalm of David.

1    O LORD, our LORD,
      How excellent is Your name in all the earth,
      Who have set Your glory above the heavens!

2    Out of the mouth of babes and nursing infants
      You have ordained strength,
      Because of Your enemies,
      That You may silence the enemy and the avenger.

3    When I consider Your heavens, the work of Your fingers,
      The moon and the stars, which You have ordained,
4    What is man that You are mindful of him,
      And the son of man that You visit him?
5    For You have made him a little lower than the angels,
      And You have crowned him with glory and honor.

6    You have made him to have dominion over the works of Your hands;
      You have put all things under his feet,
7     All sheep and oxen—
      Even the beasts of the field,
8    The birds of the air,
      And the fish of the sea
      That pass through the paths of the seas.

9    O LORD, our LORD,
      How excellent is Your name in all the earth!



Blessings....
