Psalm 8

• O LORD, our Lord, How excellent is Your name in
  all the earth, Who have set Your glory above the
  heavens! 2 Out of the mouth of babes and nursing
  infants You have ordained strength, because of
  Your enemies, that You may silence the enemy and
  the avenger. 3 When I consider Your heavens, the
  work of Your fingers, the moon and the stars,
  which You have ordained, 4 what is man that You
  are mindful of him, and the son of man that You
  visit him?

Psalm 8

• 5 For You have made him a little lower than the
  angels, and You have crowned him with glory and
  honor. 6 You have made him to have dominion over
  the works of Your hands 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 O LORD, our Lord, How excellent is
  Your name in all the earth!
