Psalms 8 Common English Bible (CEB)

1. Lord, our Lord, how majesticis your name throughout the earth!You made your glory higher than heaven!

For the music leader. According to the Gittith. A psalm of David.

2. From the mouths of nursing babiesyou have laid a strong foundationbecause of your foes,in order to stop vengeful enemies.

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

4. what are human beingsthat you think about them;what are human beingsthat you pay attention to them?

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

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

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

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

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