PSALM 8
Common Meter: 8,6,8,6
To the chief Musician upon Gittith,
A Psalm of David.
1How excellent in all the earth,
Lord, our Lord, is thy name!
Who hast thy glory far advanc'd
above the starry frame.
2From infants' and from sucklings' mouth
thou didest strength ordain,
For thy foes' cause, that so thou might'st
th' avenging foe restrain.
3When I look up unto the heav'ns,
which thine own fingers fram'd,
Unto the moon, and to the stars,
which were by thee ordain'd;
4Then say I, What is man, that he
remember'd is by thee?
Or what the son of man, that thou
so kind to him should'st be?
5For thou a little lower hast
him than the angels made;
With glory and with dignity
thou crowned hast his head.
6Of thy hands' works thou mad'st him lord,
all under's feet didst lay;
7All sheep and oxen, yea, and beasts
that in the field do stray;
8Fowls of the air, fish of the sea,
all that pass through the same.
9How excellent in all the earth,
Lord, our Lord, is thy name!

Tehillim (Psalms) 8
8
1O יהוה, our Master, how excellent is Your Name in all the earth, You who set Your splendour above the heavens!
2Out of the mouth of babes and infants You have founded strength, Because of Your adversaries, To put an end to enemy and avenger.
3For I see Your heavens, the work of Your fingers, The moon and the stars, which You have established.
4What is man that You remember him? And the son of man that You visit him?
5Yet You have made him a little less than Elohim,#Or - elohim. And have crowned him with esteem and splendour.
6You made him rule over the works of Your hands; You have put all under his feet,
7All sheep and oxen, And also the beasts of the field,
8The birds of the heavens, And the fish of the sea, Passing through the paths of the seas.
9O יהוה, our Master, How excellent is Your Name in all the earth!
