Psalm 8. Domine, Dominus noster.

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!
