- {To the chief Musician.
Upon the Gittith. A Psalm of David.} Jehovah our Lord, how excellent is thy name in all the earth! who hast set thy majesty above the heavens.
- 2
- Out of the mouth of babes and sucklings hast thou established praise because of thine adversaries, to still the enemy and the avenger.
- 3
- When I see thy heavens, the work of thy fingers, the moon and stars, which thou hast established;
- 4
- What is man, that thou art mindful of him?
and the son of man, that thou visitest him?
- 5
- Thou hast made him a little lower than the angels, and hast crowned him with glory and splendour.
- 6
- Thou hast made him to rule over the works of thy hands;
thou hast put everything under his feet:
- 7
- Sheep and oxen, all of them, and also the beasts of the field;
- 8
- The fowl of the heavens, and the fishes of the sea, [whatever] passeth through the paths of the seas.
- 9
- Jehovah our Lord, how excellent is thy name in all the earth!
