PSALMS - Chapter 8

 A Psalm of David

O YAHWEH, our Master, how excellent is your name in all the earth, who have set your glory above the heavens! 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.

When I consider your heavens, the work of your fingers, the moon and the stars, which you have ordained, what is man that you are mindful of him, and the son of man that you visit him? For you have made him a little lower than the angels, and you have crowned him with glory and honor. You have made him to have dominion over the works of your hands; you have put all things under his feet, all sheep and oxen—even the beasts of the field, the birds of the air, and the fish of the sea that pass through the paths of the seas.

O YAHWEH, our Master, how excellent is your name in all the earth! 

AN ADDED TREAT!

Chapter 9

A Psalm of David

I will praise you, O YAHWEH, with my whole heart; I will tell of all your marvelous works. I will be glad and rejoice in you; I will sing praise to your name, O Most High.

When my enemies turn back, they shall fall and perish at Your presence. For you have maintained my right and my cause; you sat on the throne judging in righteousness. You have rebuked the nations, you have destroyed the wicked; you have blotted out their name forever and ever.

O enemy, destructions are finished forever! And you have destroyed cities; even their memory has perished. But YAHWEH shall endure forever; He has prepared His throne for judgment. He shall judge the world in righteousness, and He shall administer judgment for the peoples in uprightness.

YAHWEH also will be a refuge for the oppressed, a refuge in times of trouble. And those who know your name will put their trust in you; For you, YAHWEH, have not forsaken those who seek you. Sing praises to YAHWEH, who dwells in Zion! Declare His deeds among the people. When He avenges blood, He remembers them; He does not forget the cry of the humble.

Have mercy on me, O YAHWEH! Consider my trouble from those who hate me, you who lift me up from the gates of death, that I may tell of all your praise in the gates of the daughter of Zion. I will rejoice in your salvation.

The nations have sunk down in the pit which they made; in the net which they hid, their own foot is caught. YAHWEH is known by the judgment He executes; the wicked is snared in the work of his own hands. Meditation. Selah

The wicked shall be turned into hell, and all the nations that forget Elohim. For the needy shall not always be forgotten; the expectation of the poor shall not perish forever. Arise, O YAHWEH, do not let man prevail; let the nations be judged in your sight.

Put them in fear, O YAHWEH, that the nations may know themselves to be but men. Selah

HalleluYah!
