Psalm 8

✎Economics

For the director of music. According to gittith. A psalm of David.

     1             Lord, our Lord,

         how majestic is your name in all the earth!

                  You have set your glory

         in the heavens.

     2             Through the praise of children and infants

         you have established a stronghold against your enemies,

         to silence the foe and the avenger.

     3             When I consider your heavens,

         the work of your fingers,

                  the moon and the stars,

         which you have set in place,

     4             what is mankind that you are mindful of them,

         human beings that you care for them?

     5             You have made them a little lower than the angels

         and crowned them with glory and honor.

     6             You made them rulers over the works of your hands;

         you put everything under their feet:

     7             all flocks and herds,

         and the animals of the wild,

     8             the birds in the sky,

         and the fish in the sea,

         all that swim the paths of the seas.

     9             Lord, our Lord,

         how majestic is your name in all the earth!
