Psalms 8

Psalms 8:2

Out of the mouth of babes and sucklings hast thou ordained strength because of thine enemies, that thou mightest still the enemy and avencer.

O God, thou needest no skilful rhetoricians to set forth thy praise: even very new-born babes and sucklings do sufficiently declare thy power, wisdom, and goodness: whosoever shall but look upon them, and see their miraculous formation and nourishment and insensible growth, shall see enough to stop the mouths of all thine enemies; how much more when they come to age and discretion, dost thou fetch praise and glory to thyself from them?

Psalms 8:5

For thou hast made him a little lower than the angels.

Thou hast made man in his very creation, and the Son of Man in his voluntary exinanition of himself for our sake, a little lower than the angels.
