Psalm 8
Kaize Adams Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

When I consider
The works of your hands
The moon and the stars
You set in place

What is man
That you are mindful of him
The son of man that you
Care for him

You made him a little lower
Than the heavenly beings
And you crowned him
With glory and honor

You made him ruler over
The works of your hands
And you put everything
Under his feet
You put everything
Under his feet

O Lord, our lord
How majestic is your name

You made him a little lower
Than the heavenly beings
And you crowned him
With glory and honor

You made him ruler over
The works of your hands
And you put everything
Under his feet
You put everything
Under his feet





O Lord, our lord
How majestic is your name
