Psalms 8:3 Context
1[To the chiefe Musicion vpon Gittith, a Psalme of Dauid.] O Lord our Lord, how excellent is thy name in all the earth! who hast set thy glory aboue the heauens. 2Out of the mouth of babes and sucklings hast thou ordained strength, because of thine enemies, that thou mightest still the enemie and the auenger. 3When I consider thy heauens, the worke of thy fingers, the moone and the starres which thou hast ordained; 4What is man, that thou art mindfull of him? and the sonne of man, that thou visitest him? 5For thou hast made him a little lower then the Angels; and hast crowned him with glory and honour.
