1 Lord, our Lord, 

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? u 

5 You have made them a little lower than the angels v 

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. 

9 Lord, our Lord, 

how majestic is your name in all the earth!
