1 O LORD, our Lord, How majestic is Your name in all the earth, Who have a1displayed Your splendor above the heavens ! 2 2From the mouth of infants and nursing babes You have established b3strength Because of Your adversaries, To make 4the enemy and the revengeful cease. 3 When I c5consider 6Your heavens, the work of Your fingers, The 7moon and the stars, which You have dordained ; 4 8What is man that You etake thought of him, And the son of man that You care for him? 5 Yet You have made him a 9little lower than fGod, And 10You crown him with 11glory and majesty ! 6 You make him to 12rule over the works of Your hands ; You have 13put all things under his feet, 7 All sheep and oxen, And also the gbeasts of the field, 8 The birds of the heavens and the fish of the sea, Whatever passes through the paths of the seas. 9 14O LORD, our Lord, How majestic is Your name in all the earth !New American Standard Bible Copyright © 1960, 1962, 1968, 1971, 1972, 1973, 1975, 1977, 1995 by The Lockman Foundation, La Habra, California.
