1 (For the choir director; on the Gittith. A Psalm of David.) O Lord, our Lord, How majestic is Thy name in all the earth, Who hast displayed Thy splendor above the heavens!

2 From the mouth of infants and nursing babes Thou hast established strength, Because of Thine adversaries, To make the enemy and the revengeful cease.

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 dost take thought of him? And the son of man, that Thou dost care for him?

5 Yet Thou hast made him a little lower than God, And dost crown him with glory and majesty!

6 Thou dost make him to rule over the works of Thy hands; Thou hast put all things under his feet,

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

8 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 majestic is Thy name in all the earth!
