Psalm 8
O Lord our Governor, how excellent is
thy name in all the world;
Thou that hast set thy glory above
the heavens!
Out of the mouths of very babes and sucklings
hast thou ordained strength, because of thine enemies,
That thou mightest still the enemy
and the avenger.
When I consider thy heavens, even the
work of thy fingers;
the moon and the stars which thou hast ordained.
What is man that thou art mindful of
him? and the son of man that thou visitest him?
Thou madest him lower than the
angels, to crown him with glory and worship.
Thou makest him to have dominion of
the works of thy hands;
and thou hast put all things in
subjection under his feet.
All sheep and oxen; yea and the
beasts of the field.
The fowls of the air and the fishes
of the sea; and whatsoever walketh through the paths of the seas.
O Lord our Governor, how excellent is
thy name in all the world!
Glory be to the Father and to the
Son, and to the Holy Ghost;
As it was in the beginning, is now
and ever shall be, World without end. Amen.
