How Majestic Is Your Name!
For the choirmaster. According to Gittith. A Psalm of David.
1O Yahweh, our Lord,
how majestic is Your name in all the earth!
You have set Your glory
above the heavens.
2From the mouths of children and infants
You have ordained praise
on account of Your adversaries,
to silence the enemy and avenger.
- PS 8:2[PROPHECY]From the mouths of infants He would perfect His praise → MT 21:16
- PS 8:2[QUOTED]Quoted in the New Testament → MT 21:16
- PS 8:2[NOTE]OUT OF THE MOUTHS OF BABES. Jesus quoted this when children shouted Hosanna in the temple and the leaders got angry, Matthew 21:16.
3When I behold Your heavens,
the work of Your fingers,
the moon and the stars,
which You have set in place—
4what is man that You are mindful of him,
or the son of man that You care for him?
- PS 8:4[PROPHECY]The son of man God cares for → HEB 2:6-9
- PS 8:4[QUOTED]Quoted in the New Testament → HEB 2:6-8
5You made him a little lower than the angels;
You crowned him with glory and honor.

- PS 8:5[TEXT]ANGELS. The Hebrew word is elohim, which usually means God. The Greek Old Testament says angels, and Hebrews 2:7 quotes it that way about Jesus. Some Bibles say a little lower than God.
6You made him ruler of the works of Your hands;
You have placed everything under his feet:
- PS 8:6[QUOTED]Quoted in the New Testament → 1CO 15:25-27
- PS 8:6[ALLUDED TO]The New Testament refers to this → EPH 1:22
7all sheep and oxen,
and even the beasts of the field,
8the birds of the air and the fish of the sea,
all that swim the paths of the seas.
9O Yahweh, our Lord,
how majestic is Your name in all the earth!
