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.

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.
6 You 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!
