Psalm 8 (NIV)

...LISTEN...

    For the director of music. According to gittith. A psalm of David.
1 O LORD, our Lord,
   how majestic is your name in all the earth!
   You have set your glory
   above the heavens.
2 From the lips of children and infants
   you have ordained praise
because of your enemies,
   to silence the foe and the avenger.
 3 When I consider your heavens,
   the work of your fingers,
the moon and the stars,
   which you have set in place,
4 what is man that you are mindful of him,
   the son of man that you care for him?
5 You made him a little lower than the heavenly beings
   and crowned him with glory and honor.
 6 You made him ruler over the works of your hands;
   you put everything under his feet:
7 all flocks and herds,
   and the beasts of the field,
8 the birds of the air,
   and the fish of the sea,
   all that swim the paths of the seas.
 9 O LORD, our Lord,
   how majestic is your name in all the earth!
