- <To the chief music-maker on the Gittith.
A Psalm. Of David.>
O Lord, our Lord, whose glory is higher than the heavens, how noble is your name in all the earth!
- 2
- You have made clear your strength even out of the mouths of babies at the breast, because of those who are against you;
so that you may put to shame the cruel and violent man.
- 3
- When I see your heavens, the work of your fingers, the moon and the stars, which you have put in their places;
- 4
- What is man, that you keep him in mind?
the son of man, that you take him into account?
- 5
- For you have made him only a little lower than the gods, crowning him with glory and honour.
- 6
- You have made him ruler over the works of your hands;
you have put all things under his feet;
- 7
- All sheep and oxen, and all the beasts of the field;
- 8
- The birds of the air and the fish of the sea, and whatever goes through the deep waters of the seas.
- 9
- O Lord, our Lord, how noble is your name in all the earth!
