8:1 For the leader. On the gittit. A psalm of David:
8:2 Adonai! Our Lord! How glorious is your name throughout the earth! The fame of your majesty spreads even above the heavens!
8:3 From the mouths of babies and infants at the breast you established strength because of your foes, in order that you might silence the enemy and the avenger.
8:4 When I look at your heavens, the work of your fingers, the moon and stars that you set in place —
8:5 what are mere mortals, that you concern yourself with them; humans, that you watch over them with such care?
8:6 You made him but little lower than the angels, you crowned him with glory and honor,
8:7 you had him rule what your hands made, you put everything under his feet —
8:8 sheep and oxen, all of them, also the animals in the wilds,
8:9 the birds in the air, the fish in the sea, whatever passes through the paths of the seas.
8:10 Adonai! Our Lord! How glorious is your name throughout the earth!
