| 1 | O LORD, our Lord, how excellent is thy name in all the earth! who hast set thy glory above the heavens.
|
| 2 | 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.
|
| 3 | When I consider thy heavens, the work of thy fingers, the moon and the stars, which thou hast ordained;
|
| 4 | What is man, that thou art mindful of him? and the son of man, that thou visitest him?
|
| 5 | For thou hast made him a little lower than the angels, and hast crowned him with glory and honour.
|
| 6 | Thou madest him to have dominion over the works of thy hands; thou hast put all things under his feet:
|
| 7 | All sheep and oxen, yea, and the beasts of the field;
|
| 8 | The fowl of the air, and the fish of the sea, and whatsoever passeth through the paths of the seas.
|
| 9 | O LORD our Lord, how excellent is thy name in all the earth!
