8:1 For the worship leader. A song of David accompanied by the harp. O Eternal, our Lord, Your majestic name is heard throughout the earth; Your magnificent glory shines far above the skies.
8:2 From the mouths and souls of infants and toddlers, the most innocent, You have decreed power to stop Your adversaries and quash those who seek revenge.
8:3 When I gaze to the skies and meditate on Your creation— on the moon, stars, and all You have made,
8:4 I can’t help but wonder why You care about mortals— sons and daughters of men— specks of dust floating about the cosmos.
8:5 But You placed the son of man just beneath God and honored him like royalty, crowning him with glory and honor.
8:6 You ordained him to govern the works of Your hands, to nurture the offspring of Your divine imagination; You placed everything on earth beneath his feet:
8:7 All kinds of domesticated animals, even the wild animals in the fields and forests,
8:8 The birds of the sky and the fish of the sea, all the multitudes of living things that travel the currents of the oceans.
8:9 O Eternal, our Lord, Your majestic name is heard throughout the earth.
