Psalm 8

To the chief singer on harp. A psalm of Dawiḏ.

 1  O יהוה, our Master, how excellent is Your Name in all the earth, You who set Your splendour above the shamayim!

2  Out of the mouth of children and infants You have founded strength, Because of Your adversaries, To put an end to enemy and avenger.

3  For I see Your shamayim, the work of Your fingers, The moon and the stars, which You have established.

4  What is man that You remember him? And the son of man that You visit him?

5  Yet You have made him a little less than Elohim, And have crowned him with esteem and splendour.

6  You made him rule over the works of Your hands; You have put all under his feet,

7  All sheep and oxen, And also the beasts of the field,

8  The birds of the shamayim, And the fish of the sea, Passing through the paths of the seas.

9  O יהוה, our Master, How excellent is Your Name in all the earth!
