| 8:3. | Ex ore infántium et lacténtium perfecísti laudem propter inimícos tuos, * ut déstruas inimícum et ultórem. | 3. | Out of the mouth of infants and of sucklings thou hast perfected praise, because of thy enemies, * that thou mayst destroy the enemy and the avenger. |
| 8:4. | Quóniam vidébo cælos tuos, ópera digitórum tuórum : * lunam et stellas, quæ tu fundásti. | 4. | For I will behold thy heavens, the works of thy fingers: * the moon and the stars which thou hast founded. |
| 8:5. | Quid est homo quod memor es ejus? * aut fílius hóminis, quóniam vísitas eum? | 5. | What is man that thou art mindful of him? * or the son of man that thou visitest him? |

| 8:7. | Omnia subjecísti sub pédibus ejus, * oves et boves univérsas : ínsuper et pécora campi. | 7. | Thou hast subjected all things under his feet, * all sheep and oxen: moreover the beasts also of the fields. |
