Psalms 8:3-8

Psalms 8:3-8

[3] When I consider  thy heavens,  the work  of thy fingers,  the moon  and the stars,  which thou hast ordained;  [4] What is man,  that thou art mindful  of him? and the son  of man,  that thou visitest  [5] For thou hast made him a little  lower  than the angels,  and hast crowned  him with glory  and honour.  [6] Thou madest him to have dominion  over the works  of thy hands;  thou hast put  all things under his feet:  [7] All sheep  and oxen,  yea, and the beasts  of the field;  [8] The fowl  of the air,  and the fish  of the sea,  and whatsoever passeth through  the paths  of the seas.
