8:3 When I look up at the heavens, which your fingers made,
and see the moon and the stars, which you set in place, 1
8:4 Of what importance is the human race, 2 that you should notice 3 them?
Of what importance is mankind, 4 that you should pay attention to them, 5
8:5 and make them a little less than the heavenly beings? 6
You grant mankind 7 honor and majesty; 8
8:6 you appoint them to rule over your creation; 9
you have placed 10 everything under their authority, 11
8:7 including all the sheep and cattle,
as well as the wild animals, 12
8:8 the birds in the sky, the fish in the sea
and everything that moves through the currents 13 of the seas.
8:9 O Lord, our Lord, 14
how magnificent 15 is your reputation 16 throughout the earth! 17
