Psalms of David - Modern Translation - Psalm 8

O Lord, our God, how glorious is Your name
throughout all the earth!

Your splendor is written in the heavens,
and Your majesty shines over all creation.

From the lips of children, You call forth praise,
establishing strength in the face of darkness.

When I gaze upon the heavens,
the work of Your hands—
the moon and the stars You have set in place—
I marvel at Your love.

What is humankind that You are mindful of us?
Yet You have made us with purpose,
crowning us with honor and care.

You have placed all things beneath our hands—
the earth, the creatures, the seas, and skies.

O Lord, our God, how glorious is Your name
throughout all the earth!
