8Verse 1O LORD, our Lord,how majestic is Your name in all the earth!
You have set Your gloryabove the heavens.^{Verse 2}From the mouths of children and infantsYou have ordained praise⁺on account of Your adversaries,to silence the enemy and avenger.^{Verse 3}When I behold Your heavens,the work of Your fingers,the moon and the stars,which You have set in place—^{Verse 4}what is man that You are mindful of him,or the son of man that You care for him?^{Verse 5}You made him a little lower than the angels;⁺You crowned him with glory and honor.^{Verse 6}You made him ruler of the works of Your hands;You have placed everything under his feet:^{+Verse 7}all sheep and oxen,and even the beasts of the field,^{Verse 8}the birds of the air and the fish of the sea,all that swim the paths of the seas.^{Verse 9}O LORD, our Lord,how majestic is Your name in all the earth!
