¹O Lord , our Lord,

how excellent is Your name in all the earth!

You have set Your glory

above the heavens.

²Out of the mouth of babes and nursing infants

You have ordained strength

because of Your enemies,

to silence the enemy and the avenger.

³When I consider Your heavens,

the work of Your fingers,

the moon and the stars,

which You have established,

⁴what is man that You are mindful of him,

and the son of man that You attend to him?

⁵For You have made him a little lower than the angels,

and crowned him with glory and honor.

⁶You have given him dominion over the works of Your hands;[#Ge 1:26, 28]

You have put all things under his feet,

⁷all sheep and oxen,

and also the beasts of the field,

⁸the birds of the air,

and the fish of the sea,

and whatever travels the paths of the seas.

⁹O Lord , our Lord,

how excellent is Your name in all the earth!
