Psalm 8
NET Parallel NIV [BSB CSB ESV HCS KJV ISV NAS NET NIV NLT HEB]
NET BibleNew International Version
1For the music director, according to the gittith style; a psalm of David. O LORD, our Lord, how magnificent is your reputation throughout the earth! You reveal your majesty in the heavens above! 1For the director of music. According to gittith. A psalm of David. LORD, our Lord, how majestic is your name in all the earth! You have set your glory in the heavens.
2From the mouths of children and nursing babies you have ordained praise on account of your adversaries, so that you might put an end to the vindictive enemy. 2Through the praise of children and infants you have established a stronghold against your enemies, to silence the foe and the avenger.
3When I look up at the heavens, which your fingers made, and see the moon and the stars, which you set in place, 3When I consider your heavens, the work of your fingers, the moon and the stars, which you have set in place,
4Of what importance is the human race, that you should notice them? Of what importance is mankind, that you should pay attention to them, 4what is mankind that you are mindful of them, human beings that you care for them?
5and make them a little less than the heavenly beings? You grant mankind honor and majesty; 5You have made them a little lower than the angels and crowned them with glory and honor.
6you appoint them to rule over your creation; you have placed everything under their authority, 6You made them rulers over the works of your hands; you put everything under their feet:
7including all the sheep and cattle, as well as the wild animals, 7all flocks and herds, and the animals of the wild,
8the birds in the sky, the fish in the sea and everything that moves through the currents of the seas. 8the birds in the sky, and the fish in the sea, all that swim the paths of the seas.
9O LORD, our Lord, how magnificent is your reputation throughout the earth! 9LORD, our Lord, how majestic is your name in all the earth!
