Salmos 8

8

For the music director, according to the gittith style; a psalm of David. O LORD, our Lord, how magnificent is your reputation throughout the earth! You reveal your majesty in the heavens above!

2

From the mouths of children and nursing babies you have ordained praise on account of your adversaries, so that you might put an end to the vindictive enemy.

3

When I look up at the heavens, which your fingers made, and see the moon and the stars, which you set in place,

4

Of what importance is the human race, that you should notice them? Of what importance is mankind, that you should pay attention to them?

5

You made them a little less than the heavenly beings. You crowned mankind with honor and majesty.

6

you appoint them to rule over your creation; you have placed everything under their authority,

7

including all the sheep and cattle, as well as the wild animals,

8

the birds in the sky, the fish in the sea and everything that moves through the currents of the seas.

9

O LORD, our Lord, how magnificent is your reputation throughout the earth!
