1 Lord, our Lord,

how magnificent is your name throughout the earth!  *

You have covered the heavens with your majesty.  *,*

2 From the mouths of infants and nursing babies,  *

you have established a stronghold  *

on account of your adversaries

in order to silence the enemy and the avenger.

3 When I observe your heavens,

the work of your fingers,

the moon and the stars,

which you set in place,  *

4 what is a human being that you remember him,

a son of man  * that you look after him?  *

5 You made him little less than God  *,*

and crowned him with glory and honor.

6 You made him ruler over the works of your hands;

you put everything under his feet:  *

7 all the sheep and oxen,

as well as the animals in the wild,

8 the birds of the sky,

and the fish of the sea

that pass through the currents of the seas.  *

9 Lord, our Lord,

how magnificent is your name throughout the earth!
