• 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 you Name in all the world!
