8 Yahweh, our Lord, how majestic is your name in all the earth,
who put your splendor above the heavens.
² From the mouth of children and infants you have founded^[c] strength
on account of your enemies,
to silence the enemy and the avenger.
³ When I look at your heavens, the work of your fingers,
the moon and the stars which you set in place—
⁴ what is a human being that you think of him?
and a child of humankind that you care for him?
⁵ And you made him a little lower than heavenly beings,^[d]
and with glory and with majesty you crowned him.
⁶ You make him over the works of your hands;
all things you have placed under his feet:
⁷ sheep and cattle, all of them,
and also the wild animals of the field,
⁸ the birds of the sky and the fish of the sea,
everything that passes along the paths of seas.
⁹ Yahweh, our Lord,
how majestic is your name in all of the earth!
