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

1 O LORD our Lord, how great is thy name in all the earth! who hast set thy praise above the heavens. 2 Out of the mouth of babes and sucklings hast thou ordained strength because of thine enemies, 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 hast ordained; 4 what is man, that thou art mindful of him? and the son of man, that thou dost visit him? 5 For thou hast made him a little lower than the angels and hast crowned him with glory and beauty. 6 Thou hast made him to have dominion over the works of thy hands; thou hast 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, and whatever passes through the paths of the seas.

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

1 I will praise thee, O LORD, with my whole heart; I will tell of all thy marvellous works.
