1 O Lord, our Lord, how excellent (majestic and glorious) is Your name in all the earth! You have set Your glory on the heavens.

2 O ut of the mouths of babes and unweaned infants You have established strength because of Your foes, that You might silence the enemy and the avenger.

3 W hen I view and consider Your heavens, the work of Your fingers, the moon and the stars, which You have ordained and established,

4 W hat is man that You are mindful of him, and the son of man that You care for him?

5 Y et You have made him but a little lower than God, and You have crowned him with glory and honor.

6 Y ou made him to have dominion over the works of Your hands; You have put all things under his feet:

7 A ll sheep and oxen, yes, and the beasts of the field,

8 T he birds of the air, and the fish of the sea, and whatever passes along the paths of the seas.

9 O Lord, our Lord, how excellent (majestic and glorious) is Your name in all the earth!
