Psalm 8

New Coverdale Version

O Lord our Governor, how excellent is your Name in all the world; * you have set your glory above the heavens!

Out of the mouth of babes and infants you have ordained strength, because of your enemies, * that you might still the enemy and the avenger.

When I consider your heavens, even the works of your fingers, * the moon and the stars, which you have ordained,

What is man, that you are mindful of him, * the son of man, that you visit him?

You made him little lower than the angels, * to crown him with glory and honor.

You made him to have dominion over the works of your hands, * and you have put all things in subjection under his feet:

All sheep and oxen, * even the beasts of the field,

The birds of the air, and the fish of the sea, * and whatsoever walks through the paths of the seas.

O Lord our Governor, * how excellent is your Name in all the world!
