Psalm 8:2-4
International Standard Version
2 Out of the mouths of infants and nursing babies
you have established strength[a]
on account of your adversaries,
in order to silence the enemy and vengeful foe.

the moon and the stars that you established—
4 what is man that you take notice of him,
or the son of man[b] that you pay attention to him?
