Famous Psalm 8: Common English Bible transation (published in 2011)

"For the music leader // According to the Gittith // A psalm of David"
LORD, our Lord, how majestic is your name throughout the earth;  You made your glory higher than heaven!
From the mouths of nursing babies you have laid a strong foundation because of your foes, in order to stop vengeful enemies.
When I look up at your skies, at what your fingers made -- the moon and the stars that you set firmly in place -- what are human beings that you think about them, what are human beings that you pay attention to them?
You've made them only slightly less than divine, crowning them with glory and goodness.
You've let them rule over your handiwork, putting everything under their feet -- all sheep and all cattle, the wild animals too, the birds in the sky, the fish of the ocean, everything that travels the pathways of the sea.
LORD, our Lord, how majestic is your name throughout the earth!
