8:1  O LORD, our Lord, how excellent (majestic and glorious) is Your name in all the earth! You have set Your glory on [or above] the heavens.

8:2  Out of the mouths of babes and unweaned infants You have established strength because of Your foes, that You might silence the enemy and the avenger.

8:3  When I view {and} consider Your heavens, the work of Your fingers, the moon and the stars, which You have ordained {and} established,

8:4  What is man that You are mindful of him, and the son of [earthborn] man that You care for him?

8:5  Yet You have made him but a little lower than God [or heavenly beings], and You have crowned him with glory and honor.

8:6  You made him to have dominion over the works of Your hands; You have put all things under his feet:

8:7  All sheep and oxen, yes, and the beasts of the field,

8:8  The birds of the air, and the fish of the sea, {and} whatever passes along the paths of the seas.

8:9  O Lord, our Lord, how excellent (majestic and glorious) is Your name in all the earth!
