Psalm 8:3-8

How Majestic Is Your Name

³ When I _v look at your heavens, the work of your _w fingers,
the moon and the stars, _x which you have set in place,
⁴ _y what is man that you are _z mindful of him,
and _a the son of man that you _b care for him?

⁵ Yet you have made him a little lower than _c the heavenly beings ₁
and crowned him with _d glory and honor.
⁶ You have given him _e dominion over the works of your hands;
_f you have put all things under his feet,
⁷ all sheep and oxen,
and also the beasts of the field,
⁸ the birds of the heavens, and the fish of the sea,
whatever passes along the paths of the seas.
