Psalms 8

"

Out of the mouth of babes and sucklings hast thou ordained strength because of thine enemies, that thou mightest still the enemy and the avenger.

"
"

When I consider thy heavens, the work of thy fingers, the moon and the stars, which thou hast ordained;

"
"

What is man, that thou art mindful of him? and the son of man, that thou visitest him?

"
"

For thou hast made him a little lower than the angels, and hast crowned him with glory and honour.

"
"

Thou madest him to have dominion over the works of thy hands; thou hast put all things under his feet:

"
"

All sheep and oxen, yea, and the beasts of the field;

"
"

The fowl of the air, and the fish of the sea, and whatsoever passeth through the paths of the seas.

"
"

O Lord our Lord, how excellent is thy name in all the earth!

"
