The Bible
Psalm 8
For the Chief Musician; on an instrument of Gath. A Psalm by David.
1ForeverOne
2From the lips of babes and infants you have established strength, because of your adversaries, that you might silence the enemy and the avenger.
3When I consider your heavens, the work of your fingers, the moon and the stars, which you have ordained; 4what is man, that you think of him? What is the son of man, that you care for him?
5For you have made him a little lower than God
6You make him ruler over the works of your hands. You have put all things under his feet: 7All sheep and cattle, yes, and the animals of the field, 8The birds of the sky, the fish of the sea, and whatever passes through the paths of the seas.
