How Majestic Is Your Name

Psalm 8

For the choir director: A psalm of David, to be accompanied by a stringed instrument. 1

1 O  Lord , our Lord, your majestic name fills the earth!
Your glory is higher than the heavens.
2 You have taught children and infants
to tell of your strength, 2
silencing your enemies
and all who oppose you.

3 When I look at the night sky and see the work of your fingers -
the moon and the stars you set in place -
4 what are mere mortals that you should think about them,
human beings that you should care for them? 3

5 Yet you made them only a little lower than God 4
and crowned them 5 with glory and honor.
6 You gave them charge of everything you made,
putting all things under their authority -
7 the flocks and the herds
and all the wild animals,
8 the birds in the sky, the fish in the sea,
and everything that swims the ocean currents.

9 O  Lord , our Lord, your majestic name fills the earth!
