Psalms 8CEB

11 LORD, our Lord, how majestic is your name throughout the earth! You made your glory higher than heaven!

2From the mouths of nursing babies you have laid a strong foundation because of your foes, in order to stop vengeful enemies.

3When I look up at your skies, at what your fingers made— the moon and the stars that you set firmly in place—

4what are human beings that you think about them; what are human beings that you pay attention to them?

5You've made them only slightly less than divine, crowning them with glory and grandeur.

6You've let them rule over your handiwork, putting everything under their feet—

7all sheep and all cattle, the wild animals too,

8the birds in the sky, the fish of the ocean, everything that travels the pathways of the sea.

9LORD, our Lord, how majestic is your name throughout the earth!
