1 |
To the chief music-maker on the Gittith. A Psalm. Of David.
O Lord, our Lord, whose glory is higher than the heavens, how noble is your name in all the earth! -
|
2 |
You have made clear your strength even out of the mouths of babies at the breast, because of those who are against you; so that you may put to shame the cruel and violent man. -
|
3 |
When I see your heavens, the work of your fingers, the moon and the stars, which you have put in their places; -
|
4 |
What is man, that you keep him in mind? the son of man, that you take him into account? -
|
5 |
For you have made him only a little lower than the gods, crowning him with glory and honour. -
|
6 |
You have made him ruler over the works of your hands; you have put all things under his feet; -
|
7 |
All sheep and oxen, and all the beasts of the field; -
|
8 |
The birds of the air and the fish of the sea, and whatever goes through the deep waters of the seas. -
|
9 |
O Lord, our Lord, how noble is your name in all the earth! -
