1 O Lord, our Lord,
How excellent is Your name in all the earth,
Who have set Your glory above the heavens!
2 Out of the mouth of babes and nursing infants
You have [b]ordained strength,
Because of Your enemies,
That You may silence the enemy and the avenger.
You have [b]ordained strength,
Because of Your enemies,
That You may silence the enemy and the avenger.
3 When I consider Your heavens, the work of Your fingers,
The moon and the stars, which You have ordained,
The moon and the stars, which You have ordained,
5 For You have made him a little lower than [d]the angels,
And You have crowned him with glory and honor.
And You have crowned him with glory and honor.
6 You have made him to have dominion over the works of Your hands;
You have put all things under his feet,
You have put all things under his feet,
7 All sheep and oxen —
Even the beasts of the field,
Even the beasts of the field,
9 O Lord, our Lord,
How excellent is Your name in all the earth!
How excellent is Your name in all the earth!
