Psalms 8 (LITV) Literal Translation of the Holy Bible

1 To the chief musician, on the harp. A Psalm of David. O Jehovah, our Lord, how majestic is Your name in all the earth; You have set Your glory above the heavens!
2 Out of the mouth of babes and sucklings, You have ordained strength, because of the ones distressing You, to cause the enemy and the avenger to cease.
3 When I look upon Your heavens, the work of Your fingers: the moon and the stars which You have fixed;
4 what is man that You are mindful of him, and the son of man, that You visit him?
5 For You have made him lack a little from God; and have crowned him with glory and honor.
6 You made him rule over the works of Your hands; You have put all under his feet:
7 all flocks and oxen, and also the animals of the field,
8 the birds of the heavens, and the fish of the sea, all that pass through the sea.
9 O Jehovah, our Lord, how majestic is Your name in all the earth!
