Psalm 8 – O Lord How Majestic Is Your Name In All The Earth
O LORD, our Lord, how majestic is your name in all the earth! You have set your glory
Above the heavens, from the lips of children and infants you have ordained praise
Worthy are you of their praise, you are almighty God worthy of their heart outpouring
Your majesty is demonstrated over all the earth; you created it, all its nights and days
You desire that your people worship you, at your name the demons will flee far away
Who can stand in your presence? Only those with clean hands and pure hearts can stay
You have torn the veil, you desire that people enquire in your temple and see your glory
They will come and worship, from the lips of children and infants you have ordained praise
Because of your enemies, to silence the foe and the avenger, when I consider your heavens,
The work of your fingers, the moon and the stars, what is man that you are mindful of him,
You know as your people praise you, the devil cannot speak, their praises heaven leavens
Their praises come as a result of your grace in giving your Son he carries away their sin
Who is like you O Lord; you alone are worthy of praise, may it be as incense in the heavens
For your love for your people is so amazing, what is man they you are mindful of him
The son of man that you care for him? You made him a little lower than the heavenly beings
and crowned him with glory and honor. You made him ruler over the works of your hands;
Yet in order to do this; to Earth he had to come, incarnate, made flesh, to die and rise again
At his name every knee will bow, every tongue confess, worship him you heavenly bands
They survey the empty cross, their richest gain they count but loss, for he for them was slain
Now the Lamb of God sits upon the throne, you made him ruler over the works of your hands
You put everything under his feet: all flocks and herds, and the beasts of the field,
The birds of the air, and the fish of the sea, all that swim the paths of the seas.
For he has paid the price, redemption of creation is in him, their strength and shield
A mighty fortress, a buttress where they know his protection, their enemies flee
Everything is under his hand, all to him must bow, he is LORD, and all to him must yield
He came that we might have life in abundance; to free his creation from sin and diseases,
O LORD, O Lord how majestic is your name in all the earth!
You are worthy of all praise; wisdom, honour, glory and strength,
Great are you Lord how majestic is your name in all the earth
There is none holy as you Lord as we worship you we gain strength
Come before his presence with singing, he is King of heaven and earth
Bless his holy name; how majestic is his name in all the earth
