| Chapter 8 |
1 |
To the Overseer, `On the Gittith.` A Psalm of David. Yehovah, our Lord, How honourable Thy name in all the earth! Who settest thine honour on the heavens. |
2 |
From the mouths of infants and sucklings Thou hast founded strength, Because of Thine adversaries, To still an enemy and a self-avenger. |
3 |
For I see Thy heavens, a work of Thy fingers, Moon and stars that Thou didst establish. |
4 |
What is man that Thou rememberest him? The son of man that Thou inspectest him? |
5 |
And causest him to lack a little of Godhead, And with honour and majesty compassest him. |
6 |
Thou dost cause him to rule Over the works of Thy hands, All Thou hast placed under his feet. |
7 |
Sheep and oxen, all of them, And also beasts of the field, |
8 |
Bird of the heavens, and fish of the sea, Passing through the paths of the seas! |
9 |
Yehovah, our Lord, How honourable Thy name in all the earth! |
