1 ¶ O LORD our Lord, how great is thy name in all the earth! who hast set thy praise above the heavens.

2 O ut of the mouth of babes and sucklings hast thou ordained strength because of thine enemies, that thou might 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 w hat is man, that thou art mindful of him? and the son of man, that thou dost visit him?

5 F or thou hast made him a little lower than the angels and hast crowned him with glory and beauty.

6 T hou hast made him to have dominion over the works of thy hands; thou hast put all things under his feet:

7 a ll sheep and oxen, yea, and the beasts of the field;

8 T he birds of the heavens, and the fish of the sea, and whatever passes through the paths of the seas.

9 O LORD our Lord, how great is thy name in all the earth!
