Psalm 8:1-2

Contemporary English Version

(A psalm by David for the music leader.^[a])

The Wonderful Name of the Lord

¹Our Lord and Ruler,
your name is wonderful
    everywhere on earth!
You let your glory be seen^[b]
    in the heavens above.
²^(A) With praises from children
and from tiny infants,
    you have built a fortress.
It makes your enemies silent,
and all who turn against you
    are left speechless.
