To the chief Musician upon Gittith [qy. the wine-vat],
A Psalm of David.
O Jehovah our Lord [Adonim], how excellent is thy name in all the earth! who hast set thy glory above the heavens.
Out of the mouth of babes and sucklings hast thou ordained strength because of thine enemies, that thou mightest still the enemy and the avenger.
When I consider thy heavens, the work of thy fingers, the moon and the stars, which thou hast ordained;
What is man, that thou art mindful of him? and the son of man, that thou visitest him?
For thou hast made him a little lower than the angels [elohim], and hast crowned him with glory and honor.
Thou madest him to have dominion over the works of thy hands; thou hast put all things under his feet: All sheep and oxen, yea, and the beasts of the field; The fowl of the air, and the fish of the sea, and whatsoever passeth through the paths of the seas.
O Jehovah our Lord [Adonim], how excellent is thy
name in all the earth!
Messiah rejected here below, owned as Son of Man on high.
8:1 Jehovah our Lord [Adonim], thy name in the earth, thy glory above the heavens thou hast set; thy ways; 3-9 among thy works what is man [Enosh, man in weakness; not Adam nor Ish], or the son of Adam [man].
