• Psalm 8
• Domine, Dominus noster

How exalted is your Name, O Lord, in all the world.

1 O LORD our Governor, *

how exalted is your Name in all the world!

² Out of the mouths of infants and children *

your majesty is praised above the heavens.

³ You have set up a stronghold against your adversaries, *

to quell the enemy and the avenger.

⁴ When I consider your heavens, the work of your fingers, *

the moon and the stars you have set in their courses,

⁵ What is man that you should be mindful of him? *

the son of man that you should seek him out?

⁶ You have made him but little lower than the angels; *

you adorn him with glory and honor;

⁷ You give him mastery over the works of your hands; *

you put all things under his feet:

⁸ All sheep and oxen, *

even the wild beasts of the field,

⁹ The birds of the air, the fish of the sea, *

and whatsoever walks in the paths of the sea.

¹⁰ O LORD our Governor, *

how exalted is your Name in all the world!

Glory to the Father, and to the Son, and to the Holy Spirit

as it was in the beginning, is now, and will be for ever. Amen.

How exalted is your Name, O Lord, in all the world.
