Psalm 8:1  

O LORD, our Lord,
         How excellent is Your name in all the earth,
         Who have set Your glory above the heavens!  

(Oral verse test Friday, 9/17)   

(The class will be learning all of Psalm 8 during the next few weeks, so here is Psalm 8 in its entirety as a study help.)   Psalm 8   1 O LORD, our Lord,          How excellent is Your name in all the earth,          Who have set Your glory above the heavens!            2 Out of the mouth of babes and nursing infants          You have ordained strength,          Because of Your enemies,          That You may silence the enemy and the avenger.            3 When I consider Your heavens, the work of Your fingers,          The moon and the stars, which You have ordained,  4 What is man that You are mindful of him,          And the son of man that You visit him?  5 For You have made him a little lower than the angels,[b]          And You have crowned him with glory and honor.            6 You have made him to have dominion over the works of Your hands;          You have put all things under his feet,  7 All sheep and oxen—          Even the beasts of the field,  8 The birds of the air,          And the fish of the sea          That pass through the paths of the seas.            9 O LORD, our Lord,          How excellent is Your name in all the earth!
