For the director of music. According to
1 Lord, our Lord,
how majestic is your name in all the earth!
how majestic is your name in all the earth!
You have set your glory
in the heavens. 2 Through the praise of children and infants
you have established a stronghold against your enemies,
to silence the foe and the avenger. 3 When I consider your heavens,
the work of your fingers,
the moon and the stars,
which you have set in place, 4 what is mankind that you are mindful of them,
human beings that you care for them?
in the heavens. 2 Through the praise of children and infants
you have established a stronghold against your enemies,
to silence the foe and the avenger. 3 When I consider your heavens,
the work of your fingers,
the moon and the stars,
which you have set in place, 4 what is mankind that you are mindful of them,
human beings that you care for them?
5 You have made them a little lower than the angels
and crowned them with glory and honor. 6 You made them rulers over the works of your hands;
you put everything under their feet: 7 all flocks and herds,
and the animals of the wild, 8 the birds in the sky,
and the fish in the sea,
all that swim the paths of the seas.
and crowned them with glory and honor. 6 You made them rulers over the works of your hands;
you put everything under their feet: 7 all flocks and herds,
and the animals of the wild, 8 the birds in the sky,

all that swim the paths of the seas.
9 Lord, our Lord,
how majestic is your name in all the earth!
how majestic is your name in all the earth!
