16They dig a pit and make it deep *
and fall into the hole that they have made.
17Their malice turns back upon their own head; *
their violence falls on their own scalp.
18I will bear witness that the Lord is righteous; *
I will praise the Name of the Lord Most High.
8Domine, Dominus noster
1O Lord our Governor, *
how exalted is your Name in all the world!
2Out of the mouths of infants and children *
your majesty is praised above the heavens.
3You have set up a stronghold against your adversaries, *
to quell the enemy and the avenger.
4When I consider your heavens, the work of your fingers, *
the moon and the stars you have set in their courses,
5What is man that you should be mindful of him? *
the son of man that you should seek him out?
6You have made him but little lower than the angels; *
you adorn him with glory and honor;
7You give him mastery over the works of your hands; *
you put all things under his feet:
8All sheep and oxen, *
even the wild beasts of the field,
9The birds of the air, the fish of the sea, *
and whatsoever walks in the paths of the sea.
10O Lord our Governor, *
how exalted is your Name in all the world!
592Psalm 8
