Psalms 8

1O LORD, our Lord, how excellent is thy name in all the earth! who hast set thy glory above the heavens.

יְהוָה אֲדֹנֵינוּ מָה־אַדִּיר מְךָ בְּכָל־הָאָרֶץ אֲשֶׁר תְּנָה הֹודְךָ עַל־הַשָּׁמָיִם׃ (2301)

2Out of the mouth of babes and sucklings hast thou ordained strength because of thine enemies, that thou mightest still the enemy and the avenger.

מִפִּי עֹולְלִים ׀ וְיֹנְקִים יִסַּדְתָּ עֹז לְמַעַן צֹורְרֶיךָ לְהַשְׁבִּית אֹויֵב וּמִתְנַקֵּם׃ (3201)

3When I consider thy heavens, the work of thy fingers, the moon and the stars, which thou hast ordained;

כִּי־אֶרְאֶה מֶיךָ מַעֲשֵׂי אֶצְבְּעֹתֶיךָ יָרֵחַ וְכֹוכָבִים אֲשֶׁר כֹּונָנְתָּה׃ (2674)

4What is man, that thou art mindful of him? and the son of man, that thou visitest him?

מָה־אֱנֹושׁ כִּי־תִזְכְּרֶנּוּ וּבֶן־אָדָם כִּי תִפְקְדֶנּוּ׃ (1888)

5For thou hast made him a little lower than the angels, and hast crowned him with glory and honour.

וַתְּחַסְּרֵהוּ מְּעַט מֵאֱלֹהִים וְכָבֹוד וְהָדָר תְּעַטְּרֵהוּ׃ (1873)

6Thou madest him to have dominion over the works of thy hands; thou hast put all things under his feet:

תַּמְשִׁילֵהוּ בְּמַעֲשֵׂי יָדֶיךָ כֹּל שַׁתָּה תַחַת־רַגְלָיו׃ (3069)

7All sheep and oxen, yea, and the beasts of the field;

צֹנֶה וַאֲלָפִים כֻּלָּם וְגַם בַּהֲמֹות שָׂדָי׃ (1218)
