To the chief Musician upon Gittith, A Psalm of David.
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!
