Psalm 8
Words: The Bay Psalm
Book
(Original spelling preserved)
1 O Lord our God in all the earth
how's thy name wonderous great.
who has thy goorius majesty
above the heavens set.
2 Out of the mouths of sucking babes,
thy strength thou didst ordain,
That thou mightst still the enemy
and them that thee disdain.
3 When I thy fingers work, thy Heav'ns,
the moone and starres consider
4 Which thou hast set. What's wretched man
that thou dost him remember?
Or what's the Son of man, that thus
him visited thou hast?
5 For next to Angells, thou hast him
a little lower plac't
And on thy works hast given him,
lordly authority,
And hast with glory crowned him,
and comley majesty.
6 All hast thou put under his feet;
all sheep and oxen yea
7 And beasts of field. Foules of the ayre,
and fishes of the sea.
And all that passe through paths of seas.
9 O Jehova our Lord,
How wonderously magnificient
Is thy name through all the world?
