Psaumes 8

¹ For the end, concerning the wine-presses, a Psalm of David.

² O Lord, our Lord, how wonderful is thy name in all the earth ! for thy magnificence is exalted above the heavens.

³ Out of the mouth of babes and sucklings hast thou perfected praise, because of thine enemies ; that thou mightest put down the enemy and avenger. Notesn1 Mat. 21. 16.

⁴ For I will regard the heavens, the work of thy fingers ; the moon and stars, which thou hast established.

⁵ What is man, that thou art mindful of him ? or the son of man, that thou visitest him ? Notesn1 Heb. 2. 6-9.

⁶ Thou madest him a little less than angels, thou hast crowned him with glory and honour ;

⁷ and thou hast set him over the works of thy hands : thou hast put all things under his feet :

⁸ sheep and all oxen, yea, and the cattle of the field ; Notesn1 Gr. cows.

⁹ the birds of the sky, and the fish of the sea, the creatures passing through the paths of the sea.

¹⁰ O Lord our Lord, how wonderful is thy name in all the earth !
