PSALM 8, SELECTION by OLD TESTAMENT BIBLE

First Line: WHEN I CONSIDER THY HEAVENS, THE WORK OF THY FINGERS
Last Line: AND HAST CROWNED HIM WITH GLORY AND HONOUR.
Subject(s): GOD; MANKIND; HUMAN RACE;
When I consider thy heavens, the work of thy fingers,
The moon and the stars, which thou hast ordained,
What is man, that thou art mindful of him?
And the son of man, that thou visitest him?

For thou hast made him a little lower than the angels,
And hast crowned him with glory and honour.
