Psalm 8B: Psalm 8

Amsterdam, 76.76.77.76. [G]

1. ¹ LORD, our Lord, in all the earth
        How excellent Your name!
You above the heav'ns have set
        The splendor of Your fame.
² From the mouths of infants young
        You the power of praise compose
In the face of enemies
        To stop avenging foes.

2. ³ When I view the skies above
        Which Your own fingers made,
When I see the moon and stars
        Which You in order laid,
⁴ What is man so frail and weak
        That You should remember him?
What can be the son of man
        That You should care for him?

3. ⁵ Next to God You have made man,
        With light and honor crowned.
⁶You placed him above Your works;
        Beneath him all is found;
⁷ Oxen, sheep, and all wild beasts,
        ⁸ Birds, and fish the oceans claim.
⁹ LORD, our Lord, in all the earth
        How excellent Your name!
