8:1-9
To the chief Musician upon Gittith, A Psalm of David.
1 O LORD, our Lord, how excellent is thy name in all the earth! who hast set thy glory above the heavens.
Oh God, you've got a great name! [1]
It's the best name on earth.
2 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.
3 When I consider thy heavens, the work of thy fingers, the moon and the stars, which thou hast ordained;
When I think about the stars that you made with your fingers,
I say to myself,
4 What is man, that thou art mindful of him? and the son of man, that thou visitest him?
What are humans, that you should think about them?
Or the son of man, that you should visit him?
5 For thou hast made him a little lower than the angels, and hast crowned him with glory and honour.
You've made us a little lower than the angels,
and crowned us with glory and honor.
6 Thou madest him to have dominion over the works of thy hands; thou hast put all things under his feet:
7 All sheep and oxen, yea, and the beasts of the field;
8 The fowl of the air, and the fish of the sea, and whatsoever passeth through the paths of the seas.
9 O LORD our Lord, how excellent is thy name in all the earth!
Like I said, God.
You've got an excellent name!

Chapter pagesd are split into two columns. On the left is the text of the King James Version of the Bible, and on the right is my summary of the text. There are also links to the footnotes, which can be found below the text and summary columns. The footnotes provide additional information about the material in the text, with external links, YouTube videos, etc.
In the header of every chapter page you'll find a "Bible Books" drop-down menu that displays the books in the Bible, with links to the chapters in each book of the Bible and Apocrypha. This allows you to go to any chapter in the Bible from any chapter page. And there are forward and back arrows at the top and bottom of every chapter page that will take you to the next chapter of the book.
There is also a small scripture book icon on the upper right corner of each chapter page. Clicking that will open a pop-up that provides links to all the chapters in that chapter's book. Clicking on the book icon again will close the pop-up.
Each chapter includes one or more section headings on the left, with category icons on the right. Clicking on these icons displays a list of category items in that section. (I am currently working on this feature, so some of the chapter pages will display the category items for the entire chapter, rather than for the section alone.
Since the print size of the text on chapter pages is rather small on most mobile devices, it may be easier to read when viewing in landscape mode. Of course, you can always pinch to enlarge when necessary.
