Psalm 8 (NRSV)
Name
of Jesus O LORD, our Sovereign,
how majestic is your name
in all the earth!
You have set your glory above the heavens.
Out
of the mouths of babes and infants
you have founded a bulwark because
of your foes,
to silence the enemy and the avenger.
When I look at
your heavens, the work of your fingers,
the moon and the stars that you
have established;
what are human beings that you are mindful of them,
mortals that you care for them?
Yet you have made them a little lower
than God,
and crowned them with glory and honor.
You have given them
dominion over the works of your hands;
you have put all things under
their feet,
all sheep and oxen,
and also the beasts of the field,
the birds of the air, and the fish of the sea,
whatever passes along
the paths of the seas.
O LORD, our Sovereign,
how majestic is your
name in all the earth!
