Psalms 8:1-9 Good News Bible (GNB)

1. O Lord, our Lord,your greatness is seen in all the world!Your praise reaches up to the heavens;

2. it is sung by children and babies.You are safe and secure from all your enemies;you stop anyone who opposes you.

3. When I look at the sky, which you have made,at the moon and the stars, which you set in their places —

4. what are human beings, that you think of them;mere mortals, that you care for them?

5. Yet you made them inferior only to yourself;you crowned them with glory and honour.

6. You appointed them rulers over everything you made;you placed them over all creation:

7. sheep and cattle, and the wild animals too;

8. the birds and the fishand the creatures in the seas.

9. O Lord, our Lord,your greatness is seen in all the world!
