“O Lord, our Lord, how excellent is thy name in all the earth! who hast set thy glory above the heavens. Out of the mouth of babes and sucklings hast thou ordained strength because of thine enemies, that thou mightest still the enemy and the avenger.”(Psalm 8:1-2 KJV) “耶和华我们的主阿，你的名在全地何其美。你将你的荣耀彰显于天。 你因敌人的缘故，从婴孩和吃奶的口中，建立了能力，使仇敌和报仇的，闭口无言。” (诗篇 8:1-2)
如今，Out of the mouths of babes and sucklings话这习语用来表示小孩子语出惊人，富含哲理。
这则习语在圣经中出现两次。在马太福音21：16中，耶稣引用这句出自旧约圣经诗篇第八章。诗篇中，献荣耀赞美给上帝的，是一群小孩子，而不是智者与聪明人。
