8: 1 Jehovah’s Glory and Man’s Dignity. For the Chief Musician; set to the Gittith. A Psalm of David. O Jehovah, our Lord, How excellent is thy name in all the earth, Who hast set thy glory ³²upon the heavens!
³²Or, above the heavens!

8: 2 Out of the mouth of babes and sucklings hast thou established strength, Because of thine adversaries, That thou mightest still the enemy and the avenger.
8: 3 When I consider thy heavens, the work of thy fingers, The moon and the stars, which thou hast ordained;
8: 4 What is ³³man, that thou art mindful of him? And the son of man, that thou visitest him?
³³Lit. a man (Hb. enosh), ...And the son of Adam,

8: 5 For thou hast made him but little lower than ³⁴God, And crownest him with glory and honor.
³⁴Or, the angels. Hb. Elohim.

8: 6 Thou makest him to have dominion over the works of thy hands; Thou hast put all things under his feet:
8: 7 All sheep and oxen, Yes, and the beasts of the field,
8: 8 The birds of the heavens and the fish of the sea, Whatsoever passeth through the paths of the seas.
8: 9 O Jehovah, our Lord, How excellent is thy name in all the earth!
