picture

1 O Lord, our Lord, how great is Your name in all the earth. You have set Your shining-greatness above the heavens.

O Lord, our Lord, How majestic is Your name in all the earth, Who have displayed Your splendor above the heavens!

2 O ut of the mouth of children and babies, You have built up strength because of those who hate You, and to quiet those who fight against You.

From the mouth of infants and nursing babes You have established strength Because of Your adversaries, To make the enemy and the revengeful cease.

3 W hen I look up and think about Your heavens, the work of Your fingers, the moon and the stars, which You have set in their place,

When 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 think of him, the son of man that You care for him?

What is man that You take thought of him, And the son of man that You care for him?

5 Y ou made him a little less than the angels and gave him a crown of greatness and honor.

Yet You have made him a little lower than God, And You crown him with glory and majesty!

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

You make him to rule over the works of Your hands; You have put all things under his feet,

7 A ll sheep and cattle, all the wild animals,

All sheep and oxen, And also the beasts of the field,

8 t he birds of the air, and the fish of the sea, and all that pass through the sea.

The birds of the heavens and the fish of the sea, Whatever passes through the paths of the seas.

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

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