Psalms 8 (NLT)

¹O LORD, our Lord, your majestic name fills the earth!Your glory is higher than the heavens.

²You have taught children and infantsto tell of your strength,silencing your enemiesand all who oppose you.

³When I look at the night sky and see the work of your fingers —the moon and the stars you set in place —

⁴what are mere mortals that you should think about them,human beings that you should care for them?

⁵Yet you made them only a little lower than Godand crowned them with glory and honor.

⁶You gave them charge of everything you made,putting all things under their authority —

⁷the flocks and the herdsand all the wild animals,

⁸the birds in the sky, the fish in the sea,and everything that swims the ocean currents.

⁹O LORD, our Lord, your majestic name fills the earth!
