LXX2012: Septuagint in American English 2012
Psalm 8
For the end, concerning the wine presses, a Psalm of David.
O Lord, our Lord, how wonderful is your name in all the earth! for your magnificence is exalted above the heavens. 1
Out of the mouth of babes and sucklings have you perfected praise, because of your enemies; that you might put down the enemy and avenger.
For I will regard the heavens, the work of your fingers; the moon and stars, which you have established. 2
What is man, that you are mindful of him? or the son of man, that you visit him?
You made him a little less than angels, you have crowned him with glory and honor;
and you have set him over the works of your hands: you have put all things under his feet:
sheep and all 3 oxen, yes and the cattle of the field;
the birds of the sky, and the fish of the sea, the creatures passing through the paths of the sea.
O Lord our Lord, how wonderful is your name in all the earth!
