Psalm 8:2-4
1599 Geneva Bible
2 Out of the mouth [a]of babes and sucklings hast thou [b]ordained strength, because of thine enemies, that thou mightest [c]still the enemy and the avenger.
3 When I behold thine heavens, even the works of thy fingers, the moon and the stars, which thou hast ordained,
4 What is [d]man, say I, that thou art mindful of him? and the son of man that thou visitest him?
