- To the choir director: on the gittith. A Psalm of David
- 8:1O Jehovah our Lord, / How excellent is Your name / In all the earth, / You who have set Your glory over the heavens!
- 8:2Out of the mouths of babes and sucklings / You have established strength / Because of Your adversaries, / To stop the enemy and the avenger.
- 8:3When I see Your heavens, the works of Your fingers, / The moon and the stars, which You have ordained,
- 8:4What is mortal man, that You remember him, / And the son of man, that You visit him?
- 8:5You have made him a little lower than angels / And have crowned him with glory and honor.
- 8:6For You have caused him to rule over the works of Your hands; / You have put all things under his feet:
- 8:7All sheep and oxen, / As well as the beasts of the field,
- 8:8The birds of heaven and the fish of the sea, / Whatever passes through the paths of the seas.
- 8:9O Jehovah our Lord, / How excellent is Your name / In all the earth!
