8:1O LORD our Lord, how excellent is thy name in all the earth! who hast set thy glory above the heavens.

8:2Out of the mouth of babes and sucklings hast thou ordained strength because of thine enemies, that thou mightest still the enemy and the avenger.

8:3When I consider thy heavens, the work of thy fingers, the moon and the stars, which thou hast ordained;

8:4What is man, that thou art mindful of him? and the son of man, that thou visitest him?

8:5For thou hast made him a little lower than the angels, and hast crowned him with glory and honour.

8:6Thou madest him to have dominion over the works of thy hands; thou hast put all things under his feet:

8:7All sheep and oxen, yea, and the beasts of the field;

8:8The fowl of the air, and the fish of the sea, and whatsoever passeth through the paths of the seas.

8:9O LORD our Lord, how excellent is thy name in all the earth!

81:1Sing aloud unto God our strength: make a joyful noise unto the God of Jacob.

81:2Take a psalm, and bring hither the timbrel, the pleasant harp with the psaltery.

81:3Blow up the trumpet in the new moon, in the time appointed, on our solemn feast day.

81:4For this was a statute for Israel, and a law of the God of Jacob.

81:5This he ordained in Joseph for a testimony, when he went out through the land of Egypt: where I heard a language that I understood not.

81:6I removed his shoulder from the burden: his hands were delivered from the pots.

81:7Thou calledst in trouble, and I delivered thee; I answered thee in the secret place of thunder: I proved thee at the waters of Meribah. Selah.

81:8Hear, O my people, and I will testify unto thee: O Israel, if thou wilt hearken unto me;

81:9There shall no strange god be in thee; neither shalt thou worship any strange god.

81:10I am the LORD thy God, which brought thee out of the land of Egypt: open thy mouth wide, and I will fill it.

81:11But my people would not hearken to my voice; and Israel would none of me.

81:12So I gave them up unto their own hearts' lust: and they walked in their own counsels.

81:13Oh that my people had hearkened unto me, and Israel had walked in my ways!

81:14I should soon have subdued their enemies, and turned my hand against their adversaries.

81:15The haters of the LORD should have submitted themselves unto him: but their time should have endured for ever.

81:16He should have fed them also with the finest of the wheat: and with honey out of the rock should I have satisfied thee.
