### Psalm 8
> To the chief Musician upon Gittith, A Psalm of David.
1 O LORD our Lord, how excellent _is_ thy name in all the earth! who hast set thy glory above the heavens. ^1
2 Out of the mouth of babes and sucklings hast thou ordained strength because of thine enemies, that thou mightest still the enemy and the avenger. ^2
3 When I consider thy heavens, the work of thy fingers, the moon and the stars, which thou hast ordained; ^3
4 What is man, that thou art mindful of him? and the son of man, that thou visitest him? ^4
5 For thou hast made him a little lower than the angels, and hast crowned him with glory and honor. ^5
6 Thou madest him to have dominion over the works of thy hands; thou hast put all _things_ under his feet: ^6
7 All sheep and oxen, yea, and the beasts of the field; ^7
8 The fowl of the air, and the fish of the sea, _and_ _whatsoever_ passes through the paths of the seas. ^8
9 O LORD our Lord, how excellent _is_ thy name in all the earth! ^9
