Psalm 8:1-Psalm 9:1 - God's Glory, Man's Dignity

¹ For the choir director: on the Gittith. A Davidic psalm.Yahweh, our Lord,
how magnificent is Your name throughout the earth!

You have covered the heavens with Your majesty.
² Because of Your adversaries,
You have established a stronghold
from the mouths of children and nursing infants
to silence the enemy and the avenger.

³ When I observe Your heavens,
the work of Your fingers,
the moon and the stars,
which You set in place,
⁴ what is man that You remember him,
the son of man that You look after him?
⁵ You made him little less than God
and crowned him with glory and honor.
⁶ You made him lord over the works of Your hands;
You put everything under his feet:
⁷ all the sheep and oxen,
as well as the animals in the wild,
⁸ the birds of the sky,
and the fish of the sea
that pass through the currents of the seas.

⁹ Yahweh, our Lord,
how magnificent is Your name throughout the earth!

¹ For the choir director: according to Muth-labben. A Davidic psalm.I will thank Yahweh with all my heart;
I will declare all Your wonderful works.
