# Psalms 8 [[Psalms 7|←]] • [[Psalms 9|→]] --- To the chief Musician upon Gittith, A Psalm of David. ### 1 O Lord our Lord, how excellent 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 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, passeth through the paths of the seas. ### 9 O Lord our Lord, how excellent thy name in all the earth!
