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!
