Psalm 8 :: Young's Literal Translation (YLT)

Psa 8:1To the Overseer, 'On the Gittith.' A Psalm of David. Jehovah, our Lord, How honourable Thy name in all the earth! Who settest thine honour on the heavens.
Psa 8:2From the mouths of infants and sucklings Thou hast founded strength, Because of Thine adversaries, To still an enemy and a self-avenger.
Psa 8:3For I see Thy heavens, a work of Thy fingers, Moon and stars that Thou didst establish.
Psa 8:4What is man that Thou rememberest him? The son of man that Thou inspectest him?
Psa 8:5And causest him to lack a little of Godhead, And with honour and majesty compassest him.
Psa 8:6Thou dost cause him to rule Over the works of Thy hands, All Thou hast placed under his feet.
Psa 8:7Sheep and oxen, all of them, And also beasts of the field,
Psa 8:8Bird of the heavens, and fish of the sea, Passing through the paths of the seas!
Psa 8:9Jehovah, our Lord, How honourable Thy name in all the earth!
