Psalm 8

New American Standard Bible

The Lord’s Glory and Mankind’s Dignity.

For the music director; on the Gittith. A Psalm of David.

8 Lord, our Lord,
How majestic is Your name in all the earth,
You who have ^[a]^(A)displayed Your splendor above the heavens!
²^(B)From the mouths of infants and nursing babies You have established ^[b]^(C)strength
Because of Your enemies,
To do away with ^(D)the enemy and the revengeful.

³When I ^[c]^(E)consider ^(F)Your heavens, the work of Your fingers,
The ^(G)moon and the stars, which You have set in place;
⁴^(H)What is man that You think of him,
And a son of man that You are concerned about him?
⁵Yet You have made him a ^(I)little lower than ^[d]God,
And ^(J)You crown him with ^(K)glory and majesty!
⁶You have him ^(L)rule over the works of Your hands;
You have ^(M)put everything under his feet,
⁷All sheep and oxen,
And also the animals of the field,
⁸The birds of the sky, and the fish of the sea,
Whatever passes through the paths of the seas.

⁹^(N)Lord, our Lord,
How majestic is Your name in all the earth!

Ephesians 1:15-23

New American Standard Bible

¹⁵For this reason I too, ^(A)having heard of the faith in the Lord Jesus which exists among you and ^[a]your love for ^(B)all the ^[b]saints, ¹⁶^(C)do not cease giving thanks for you, ^(D)while making mention of you in my prayers; ¹⁷that the ^(E)God of our Lord Jesus Christ, ^(F)the Father of glory, may give you a spirit of ^(G)wisdom and of ^(H)revelation in the ^[c]knowledge of Him. ¹⁸I pray that ^(I)the eyes of your heart ^[d]may be enlightened, so that you will know what is the ^(J)hope of His ^(K)calling, what are ^(L)the riches of the glory of ^(M)His inheritance in ^(N)the ^[e]saints, ¹⁹and what is the ^[f]boundless greatness of His power toward us who believe. ^(O)These are in accordance with the working of the ^(P)strength of His might ²⁰which He brought about in Christ, when He ^(Q)raised Him from the dead and ^(R)seated Him at His right hand in ^(S)the heavenly places, ²¹far above ^(T)all rule and authority and power and dominion, and every ^(U)name that is named, not only in ^(V)this age but also in the one to come. ²²And He ^(W)put all things in subjection under His feet, and made Him ^(X)head over all things to the church, ²³which is His ^(Y)body, the ^(Z)fullness of Him who ^(AA)fills ^(AB)all in all.
