3 \\8:2\\Out of the mouth of babes and sucklings hast thou ordained strength because of thy enemies, that thou mightest still the enemy and the avenger.

4 \\8:3\\When I consider thy heavens, the work of thy fingers; the moon and the stars, which thou hast ordained;

5 \\8:4\\What is man, that thou art mindful of him? and the son of man, that thou visitest him?

6 \\8:5\\For thou hast made him a little lower than the angels, and hast crowned him with glory and honor.

7 \\8:6\\Thou hast made him to have dominion over the works of thy hands; thou hast put all things under his feet:

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

9 \\8:8\\The fowl of the air, and the fish of the sea, and whatever passeth through the paths of the seas.
