What does Psalms Chapter 8 say, and which statements belong to its speaker?

The Latin incipit is Domine, Dominus noster. The separate heading describes God's wonders, especially mankind exalted by Christ's incarnation. The inscription is unto the end, for the presses, for David; the note says Hebrew Gittith is supposed to be a musical instrument.

In the psalmist’s speech, the hymn praises the Lord's admirable name throughout earth and magnificence above heaven. It says He perfected praise from infants and sucklings because of enemies, to destroy enemy and avenger. The speaker will behold heavens, works of His fingers, moon and founded stars, asking what man is that God remembers him or the son of man that He visits him.

In the psalmist’s speech, the hymn says God made him a little less than angels, crowned him with glory and honor and set him over His works. All things are subjected under his feet, including sheep, oxen, field beasts, birds and fish passing through sea paths. It ends by repeating praise of the Lord's admirable name in the whole earth. It does not describe a witnessed night scene or state an ecological administration policy.
