UST by section PSA 8:1

The Book of Psalms 8

8 A psalm written by David for the choir director, to be accompanied by a stringed instrument

8 Our Lord Yahweh, people all over the world know how impressive you are!

You have made the sky show everyone how grand you are every time anyone looks at it!

2 When anyone who is weak cries for help like nursing little children cry for help

you listen and protect them from your enemies, the ones that want to hurt your people.

In order to protect them, you destroy enemies who want to harm them in return for what you have justly done to them.

3 I look up at the sky at night

and see the things that you have made—

the moon and the stars that you have set in place.

4 It is amazing to me that you think about people,

that you are concerned about humans!

5 In fact though, you made humans to be just slightly lower than heavenly beings.

You made humans to be glorious and majestic like you.

6 You put humans in charge of everything that you made,

you made them rule over all things—

7 over all the domestic animals like sheep, goats, and cattle,

the wild animals too,

8 the birds in the sky,

the fish in the sea,

and everything else that swims in the ocean.

9 Our Lord Yahweh,

people all over the world know how impressive you are!
