¹ O Jehovah, our Lord, how excellent is thy name in all the earth, who has set thy glory upon the heavens!

² Out of the mouth of babes and sucklings thou have perfected praise, because of thine adversaries, that thou might still the enemy and the avenger.

³ When I consider thy heavens, the work of thy fingers, the moon and the stars, which thou have ordained,

⁴ what is man that thou remember him? And the son of man that thou succor him?

⁵ For thou have made him but little lower than agents, and crowned him with glory and honor.

⁶ Thou make him to have dominion over the works of thy hands. Thou have put all things under his feet.

⁷ All sheep and oxen, yea, and the beasts of the field,

⁸ the birds of the heavens, and the fish of the sea, whatever passes through the paths of the seas.

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