(Psalm 8)
O LORD, our LORD,
your greatness is seen in all the world!
Your praise reaches up to the heavens;
it is sung by children and babies.
You are safe and secure from all your enemies;
you stop anyone who opposes you.
When I look at the sky, which you have made,
at the moon and the stars,
which you set in their places-
what is man, that you think of him;
mere man, that you care for him?
Yet you made him inferior only to yourself;
you crowned him with glory and honor.
You appointed him ruler over everything you made;
you placed him over all creation:
sheep and cattle, and the wild animals too;
the birds and the fish and the creatures in the seas.
O LORD, our lord,
your greatness is seen in all the world!
O LORD, our LORD,

it is sung by children and babies.
You are safe and secure from all your enemies;
you stop anyone who opposes you.

Yet you made him inferior only to yourself;
you crowned him with glory and honor.
You appointed him ruler over everything you made;
you placed him over all creation:
sheep and cattle, and the wild animals too;
the birds and the fish and the creatures in the seas.
O LORD, our lord,
your greatness is seen in all the world!
