Psal 8 Book of Common Prayer translated by Miles Coverdale.

O Lord, our Governor, how excellent is thy name in all the world, thou that has set thy glory

above the heavens. Out of the mouth of very babes and sucklings hast thou ordained strength because of thine enemies, that thou mightest still

the enemy and the avenger. For I will consider thy heavens, even the works 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.

Thou madeest him lower than the angels, to crown him with glory and worship.

Thou makest him to have dominion of the work of thy hands.

Thou hast put all things in subjection under his feet.

All sheep and oxen yay and the beasts of the fields,

the fowls of the air and the fishes of the sea and whatsoever walketh through the paths of the seas.

O Lord our Governor, how excellent is thy name in all the world.

Welcome to the Psalms with me, James Deli Pole,

and I'm really looking forward to talking about Psalm 8

with Paul Sutton. Welcome to the summers, Paul. Thank you very much.

Paul, I've done very little research as is my word. Tell me about yourself.

Well I think even if you had research you wouldn't be able to find that much.

I'm just a humble Church of England curate at least for a little while longer and so that means I'm a kind of

at the last stage of my training to be a

Church of England vicar working down in Exeter at St Leonard's Exeter and

before that lived in London for about 10 years.

Right okay so and before that lived in London for about 10 years.

Right, okay, so I imagine that it must be quite difficult being a curate, would be vicar in the Church of England at the moment.
