1 O Jehovah, our Lord! How excellent is thy name in all the earth! Thou hast set thy glory above the heavens. 2Out of the mouths of babes and sucklings hast thou ordained praise, To put thine adversaries to shame, And to silence the enemy and avenger. 3When I consider thy heavens, the work of thy fingers, The moon and the stars which thou hast ordained: 4What is man, that thou art mindful of him, And the son of man, that thou carest for him? 5Yet thou hast made him little lower than God; Thou hast crowned him with glory and honor. 6Thou hast given him dominion over the works of thy hands; Thou hast put all things under his feet,— 7All sheep and oxen, Yea, and the beasts of the forest; 8The birds of the air, and the fishes of the sea, And whatever passeth through the paths of the deep. 9O Jehovah, our Lord, How excellent is thy name in all the earth!
