^[1] Yahweh, our Lord, how majestic is your name in all the earth! You have set your glory above the heavens!
^[2] From the lips of babes and infants you have established strength, because of your adversaries, that you might silence the enemy and the avenger.
^[3] When I consider your heavens, the work of your fingers, the moon and the stars, which you have ordained,
^[4] what is man, that you think of him? What is the son of man, that you care for him?
^[5] For you have made him a little lower than the angels,^§ and crowned him with glory and honor.
^[6] You make him ruler over the works of your hands. You have put all things under his feet:
^[7] All sheep and cattle, yes, and the animals of the field,
^[8] the birds of the sky, the fish of the sea, and whatever passes through the paths of the seas.
^[9] Yahweh, our Lord, how majestic is your name in all the earth!

Psalm 8:5 Hebrew: Elohim. The word Elohim, used here, usually means “God”, but can also mean “gods”, “princes”, or “angels”. The Septuagint reads “angels” here. See also the quote from the Septuagint in Hebrews 2:7.
