The LORD’S Glory and Man’s Dignity.

For the choir director; on the Gittith. A Psalm of David.

1 O LORD, our Lord,
         How majestic is Your name in all the earth,
         Who have displayed Your splendor above the heavens!
2 From the mouth of infants and nursing babes You have established strength
         Because of Your adversaries,
         To make the enemy and the revengeful cease.
3 When I consider Your heavens, the work of Your fingers,
         The moon and the stars, which You have ordained;
4 What is man that You take thought of him,
         And the son of man that You care for him?
5 Yet You have made him a little lower than God,
         And You crown him with glory and majesty!
6 You make him to rule over the works of Your hands;
         You have put all things under his feet,
7 All sheep and oxen,
         And also the beasts of the field,
8 The birds of the heavens and the fish of the sea,
         Whatever passes through the paths of the seas.
9 O LORD, our Lord,
         How majestic is Your name in all the earth!
