Psalm 8 :: Legacy Standard Bible (LSB)

How Majestic Is Your Name

Psa 8:1

For the choir director. According to the Gittith. A Psalm of David.

O Yahweh, our Lord,

How majestic is Your name in all the earth,

Who [fn]displays Your splendor above the heavens!

Psa 8:2

From the mouth of infants and nursing babies You have established [fn]strength

Because of Your adversaries,

To make the enemy and the revengeful cease.

Psa 8:3

When I see Your heavens, the work of Your fingers,

The moon and the stars, which You have established;

Psa 8:4

What is man that You remember him,

And the son of man that You care for him?

Psa 8:5

Yet You have made him a little lower than the [fn]angels,

And You crown him with glory and majesty!

Psa 8:6

You make him to rule over the works of Your hands;

You have put all things under his feet,

Psa 8:7

All sheep and oxen,

And also the animals of the field,

Psa 8:8

The birds of the heavens and the fish of the sea,

Whatever passes through the paths of the seas.

Psa 8:9

O Yahweh, our Lord,

How majestic is Your name in all the earth!
