- 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!
