Psalm 8                                                                                               Saturday Midday 2 & 4

Yahweh our Lord, * how glorious is your name * through all the earth!

    I will adore your majesty * above the heavens, * with the lips of nursing babies.

    You built a fortress for your dwelling, * having silenced your adversaries, * the enemy and the avenger.

        When I see your heavens, * the work of your fingers,

        the moon and the stars * which you created:

           What is man that you should think of him, * or the son of man that you should care for him?

        Yet you made him a little less than the gods; * with honor and glory you crowned him.

        You made him lord over the works of your hands, * put all things at his feet:

    Small and large cattle together, * along with the beasts of the savanna,

    the birds of the sky and fish of the sea, * crossing the routes of the seas.

Yahweh our Lord, * how glorious is your name through all the earth!
