Psalm 8

Christian Standard Bible Anglicised

You have covered the heavens with your majesty.^[a](C)
2 From the mouths of infants and nursing babies,^(D)
you have established a stronghold^[b]
on account of your adversaries
in order to silence the enemy and the avenger.

³ When I observe your heavens,
the work of your fingers,
the moon and the stars,
which you set in place,^(E)
4 what is a human being that you remember him,
a son of man^[c] that you look after him?^(F)
5 You made him a little less than God^[d][e]
and crowned him with glory and honour.
⁶ You made him ruler over the works of your hands;
you put everything under his feet:^(G)
7 all the sheep and oxen,
as well as the animals in the wild,
⁸ the birds of the sky,
and the fish of the sea
that pass through the currents of the seas.^(H)

⁹ Lord, our Lord,
how magnificent is your name throughout the earth!
