1 O LORD, our LORD, how excellent is thy name in all the earth! Thou hast set thy glory upon the heavens.

2 Out of the mouth of young men and infants hast thou established thy glory because of thine enemies, that thou mightest destroy the enemy and the avenger.

3 For thy heavens have seen 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 clothed him with glory and honor.

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 wilderness;

8 The fowl of the air and the fish of the sea which pass through the paths of the seas.

9 O LORD, our LORD, how excellent is thy name in all the earth!
