English Standard Version

### How Majestic Is Your Name

#### To the choirmaster: according to The Gittith.\[[a](https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Psalm%208&version=ESV#fen-ESV-14014a "See footnote a")\] A Psalm of David.

8 O Lord, our Lord,
 how majestic is your name in all the earth!
You have set your glory above the heavens.
2  Out of the mouth of babies and infants,
you have established strength because of your foes,
 to still the enemy and the avenger.

3 When I look at your heavens, the work of your fingers,
 the moon and the stars, which you have set in place,
4 what is man that you are mindful of him,
 and the son of man that you care for him?

5 Yet you have made him a little lower than the heavenly beings\[[b](https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Psalm%208&version=ESV#fen-ESV-14018b "See footnote b")\]

 and crowned him with glory and honor.
6 You have given him dominion over the works of your hands;
 you have put all things under his feet,
7 all sheep and oxen,
 and also the beasts of the field,
8 the birds of the heavens, and the fish of the sea,
 whatever passes along the paths of the seas.

9 O Lord, our Lord,
 how majestic is your name in all the earth!
