God's Word Translation

Psalms 8 God's Word Translation (GW)

1. O Lord, our Lord, how majestic is your name throughout the earth!Your glory is sung above the heavens.

2. From the mouths of little children and infants,you have built a fortress against your opponentsto silence the enemy and the avenger.

3. When I look at your heavens,the creation of your fingers,the moon and the stars that you have set in place—

4. what is a mortal that you remember himor the Son of Man that you take care of him?

5. You have made him a little lower than yourself.You have crowned him with glory and honor.

6. You have made him rule what your hands created.You have put everything under his control:

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

8. the birds, the fish,whatever swims in the currents of the seas.

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