Psalm 8
New King James Version
The Glory of the Lord in Creation
To the Chief Musician. [a]On the instrument of Gath. A Psalm of David.
8 O Lord, our Lord,
How (A)excellent is Your name in all the earth,
Who have (B)set Your glory above the heavens!
2 (C)Out of the mouth of babes and nursing infants
You have [b]ordained strength,
Because of Your enemies,
That You may silence (D)the enemy and the avenger.
3 When I (E)consider Your heavens, the work of Your fingers,
The moon and the stars, which You have ordained,
4 (F)What is man that You are mindful of him,
And the son of man that You (G)visit[c] him?
5 For You have made him a little lower than [d]the angels,
And You have crowned him with glory and honor.
6 (H)You have made him to have dominion over the works of Your hands;
(I)You have put all things under his feet,
7 All sheep and oxen—
Even the beasts of the field,
8 The birds of the air,
And the fish of the sea
That pass through the paths of the seas.
9 (J)O Lord, our Lord,
How excellent is Your name in all the earth!

Psalm 8
God’s Glory, Human Dignity
For the choir director: on the Gittith.(A) A psalm of David.
1 Lord, our Lord,
how magnificent is your name throughout the earth!(B)
You have covered the heavens with your majesty.[a](C)
2 From the mouths of infants and nursing babies,(D)
you have established a stronghold[b]
on account of your adversaries
in order 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,(E)
4 what is a human being that you remember him,
a son of man[c] that you look after him?(F)
5 You made him little less than God[d][e]
and crowned him with glory and honor.
6 You made him ruler over the works of your hands;
you put everything under his feet:(G)
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.(H)
9 Lord, our Lord,
how magnificent is your name throughout the earth!

Salmo 8
La gloria del Señor y la dignidad del hombre
Para el director del coro; sobre Gitit. Salmo de David.
Posiblemente instrumento o melodía procedente de Gat.
8 ¡Oh Señor, Señor nuestro,
Cuán glorioso es Tu nombre en toda la tierra,
Que has desplegado Tu gloria sobre los cielos(A)!
2 Por boca de los infantes y de los niños de pecho(B) has establecido Tu fortaleza(C),
Por causa de Tus adversarios,
Para hacer cesar al enemigo y al vengativo(D).
3 ¶Cuando veo Tus cielos(E), obra de Tus dedos,
La luna y las estrellas(F) que Tú has establecido,
4 Digo: ¿Qué es el hombre para que te acuerdes de él,
Y el hijo del hombre para que lo cuides[a](G)?
5 ¡Sin embargo, lo has hecho un poco menor que los ángeles(H),
Y lo coronas(I) de gloria y majestad(J)!
6 Tú le haces señorear sobre las obras de Tus manos(K);
Todo lo has puesto bajo sus pies(L):
7 Todas las ovejas y los bueyes,
Y también las bestias del campo,
8 Las aves de los cielos y los peces del mar,
Cuanto atraviesa las sendas de los mares.
9 ¶¡Oh Señor, Señor nuestro,
Cuán glorioso es Tu nombre en toda la tierra(M)!
