Listen to Genesis 9:8-17, Psalm 8
8Then God said to Noah and to his sons with him: 9“I now establish my covenant with you(A) and with your descendants after you 10and with every living creature that was with you—the birds, the livestock and all the wild animals, all those that came out of the ark with you—every living creature on earth. 11I establish my covenant(B) with you:(C) Never again will all life be destroyed by the waters of a flood; never again will there be a flood to destroy the earth.(D)”
12And God said, “This is the sign of the covenant(E) I am making between me and you and every living creature with you, a covenant for all generations to come:(F) 13I have set my rainbow(G) in the clouds, and it will be the sign of the covenant between me and the earth. 14Whenever I bring clouds over the earth and the rainbow(H) appears in the clouds, 15I will remember my covenant(I) between me and you and all living creatures of every kind. Never again will the waters become a flood to destroy all life.(J) 16Whenever the rainbow(K) appears in the clouds, I will see it and remember the everlasting covenant(L) between God and all living creatures of every kind on the earth.”
17So God said to Noah, “This is the sign of the covenant(M) I have established between me and all life on the earth.”

Psalm 8[a]
For the director of music. According to gittith.[b] A psalm of David.
1Lord, our Lord,
how majestic is your name(A) in all the earth!
You have set your glory(B)
in the heavens.(C)
2Through the praise of children and infants
you have established a stronghold(D) against your enemies,
to silence the foe(E) and the avenger.
3When I consider your heavens,(F)
the work of your fingers,(G)
the moon and the stars,(H)
which you have set in place,
4what is mankind that you are mindful of them,
human beings that you care for them?[c](I)
5You have made them[d] a little lower than the angels[e](J)
and crowned them[f] with glory and honor.(K)
6You made them rulers(L) over the works of your hands;(M)
you put everything under their[g] feet:(N)
7all flocks and herds,(O)
and the animals of the wild,(P)
8the birds in the sky,
and the fish in the sea,(Q)
all that swim the paths of the seas.
9Lord, our Lord,
how majestic is your name in all the earth!(R)
