CHAPTER 8

God, you have a great name!
8:1-9

To the chief Musician upon Gittith, A Psalm of David.

1O 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.

You've made babies strong.

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:

And put us in charge of everything that you made.

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.

Sheep, oxen, beasts, birds, fish, and other sea creatures.

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

Like I said, God.

You've got an excellent name!
