| Jehovah’s Glory and Man’s Dignity |
| For the Chief Musician; set to the Gittith. A Psalm of David. |
| [1] | O JEHOVAH, our Lord, How excellent is thy name in all the earth, Who hast set thy glory upon 1 the heavens! |
| [2] | Out of the mouth of babes and sucklings hast thou established strength, Because of thine adversaries, 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 but little lower than God, 2 And crownest him with glory and honor. |
| [6] | Thou makest 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 birds of the heavens, and the fish of the sea Whatsoever passeth through the paths of the seas. |
| [9] | O Jehovah, our Lord, How excellent is thy name in all the earth! |
