To the chief Musician upon Gittith
, A Psalm
of David
. O LORD
our Lord
, how excellent
is thy name
in all the earth
! who hast set
thy glory
above the heavens
.
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
.
When I consider thy heavens
, the work
of thy fingers
, the moon
and the stars
, which thou hast ordained
;
What is man, that thou art mindful
of him? and the son
of man
, that thou visitest
him?
For thou hast made him a little lower
than the angels
, and hast crowned
him with glory
and honour
.
Thou madest him to have dominion over the works
of thy hands
; thou hast put
all things under his feet
:
All sheep and oxen
, yea, and the beasts
of the field
;
The fowl of the air
, and the fish
of the sea
, and whatsoever passeth through
the paths
of the seas
.
O LORD our Lord
, how excellent
is thy name
in all the earth
!
