1 O Lord, our Lord, How excellent is Your name in all the earth, Who have set Your glory above the heavens!

2 O ut of the mouth of babes and nursing infants You have ordained strength, Because of Your enemies, That You may silence the enemy and the avenger.

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

4 W hat is man that You are mindful of him, And the son of man that You visit him?

5 F or You have made him a little lower than the angels, And You have crowned him with glory and honor.

6 Y ou have 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— Even the beasts of the field,

8 T he birds of the air, And the fish of the sea That pass through the paths of the seas.

9 O Lord, our Lord, How excellent is Your name in all the earth!
