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!
1 To him that excelleth on Gittith. A Psalme of Dauid. O Lord our Lord, how excellent is thy Name in all the worlde! which hast set thy glory aboue the heauens. 2 Out of the mouth of babes and suckelings hast thou ordeined strength, because of thine enemies, that thou mightest still the enemie and the auenger. 3 When I beholde thine heauens, euen the workes of thy fingers, the moone and the starres which thou hast ordeined, 4 What is man, say I, that thou art mindefull of him? and the sonne of man, that thou visitest him? 5 For thou hast made him a little lower then God, and crowned him with glory and worship. 6 Thou hast made him to haue dominion in the workes of thine hands: thou hast put all things vnder his feete: 7 All sheepe and oxen: yea, and the beastes of the fielde: 8 The foules of the ayre, and the fish of the sea, and that which passeth through the paths of the seas. 9 O Lord our Lord, howe excellent is thy Name in all the world!
