Psalmes 8

P S A L. VIII.

Gods glory is magnified by his workes, and by his loue to man.

¶ To the chiefe Musicion vpon Gittith, a Psalme of Dauid.

VIII ¶ O LORD our LORD, how excellent is thy name in all the earth! who hast set thy glory aboue the heauens. 2 [ref][fn]Out of the mouth of babes and sucklings hast thou ordained strength, because of thine enemies, that thou mightest still the enemie and the auenger. 3 When I consider thy heauens, the worke of thy fingers, the moone and the starres which thou hast ordained; 4 [ref]What is man, that thou art mindfull of him? and the sonne of man, that thou visitest him? 5 For thou hast made him a little lower then the Angels; and hast crowned him with glory and honour. 6 [ref]Thou madest him to haue dominion ouer the workes of thy hands; thou hast put all things vnder his feete. 7 [fn]All sheepe and oxen, yea and the beasts of the field. 8 The foule of the aire, and the fish of the sea, and whatsoeuer passeth through the paths of the seas. 9 O LORD our LORD, how excellent is thy name in all the earth!
