Psalms 8:4


← Psalms 8:3 Psalms 8:4 (KJV) Psalms 8:5 →
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, and hast crowned him with glory and honour.
