Psalm 8 - Domine, Dominus noster

1   O Lord our Governor, how excellent is your Name in all the world; 🞙
    you have set your glory above the heavens!

2   Out of the mouth of babes and infants you have ordained strength, because of your enemies, 🞙
    that you might still the enemy and the avenger.

3   When I consider your heavens, even the works of your fingers, 🞙
    the moon and the stars, which you have ordained, 

4   What is man, that you are mindful of him, 🞙
    the son of man, that you visit him? 

5   You made him little lower than the angels, 🞙
    to crown him with glory and honor. 

6   You made him to have dominion over the works of your hands, 🞙
    and you have put all things in subjection under his feet: 

7   All sheep and oxen, 🞙
    even the beasts of the field, 

8   The birds of the air, and the fish of the sea, 🞙
    and whatsoever walks through the paths of the seas. 

9   O Lord our Governor, 🞙
    how excellent is your Name in all the world!
