To the chief Musician
upon Gittith,
A Psalm
of David.
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.
When I consider
thy heavens,
the work
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?
For thou hast made him a little
lower
than the angels,
and hast crowned
him with glory
and honour.
Thou madest him to have dominion
over the works
of thy hands;
thou hast put
all things under his feet:
All sheep
and oxen,
yea, and the beasts
of the field;
The fowl
of the air,
and the fish
of the sea,
and whatsoever passeth through
the paths
of the seas.
O LORD
our Lord,
how excellent
is thy name
in all the earth!
