Psalm 8:1-Psalm 9:1 - God's Glory, Man's Dignity

¹ O LORD, our Lord, how excellent is thy name in all the earth, who has set thy glory upon the heavens! ² Out of the mouth of babes and sucklings thou have {perfected praise (LXX/NT)}, because of thine adversaries, that thou might still the enemy and the avenger.

³ When I consider thy heavens, the work of thy fingers, the moon and the stars, which thou have ordained, ⁴ what is man that thou remember him? And the son of man that thou succor him? ⁵ For thou have made him but little lower than [heavenly] agents, and crowned him with glory and honor. ⁶ Thou make him to have dominion over the works of thy hands. Thou have put all things under his feet. ⁷ All sheep and oxen, yea, and the beasts of the field, ⁸ the birds of the heavens, and the fish of the sea, whatever passes through the paths of the seas.

⁹ O LORD, our Lord, how excellent is thy name in all the earth!

¹ I will give thanks to LORD with my whole heart. I will show forth all thy marvelous works.
