Psalms 8:1-9 New American Bible, Revised Edition (NABRE)

1. For the leader; “upon the gittith.” A psalm of David.

2. O Lord, our Lord,how awesome is your name through all the earth!I will sing of your majesty above the heavens

3. with the mouths of babes and infants.You have established a bulwark against your foes,to silence enemy and avenger.

4. When I see your heavens, the work of your fingers,the moon and stars that you set in place—

5. What is man that you are mindful of him,and a son of man that you care for him?

6. Yet you have made him little less than a god,crowned him with glory and honor.

7. You have given him rule over the works of your hands,put all things at his feet:

8. All sheep and oxen,even the beasts of the field,

9. The birds of the air, the fish of the sea,and whatever swims the paths of the seas.
