1Lord, our Lord, how majestic is your name1 in all the earth! You have set your glory2 in the heavens.3
2Through the praise of children and infants you have established a stronghold1 against your enemies, to silence the foe2 and the avenger.
3When I consider your heavens,1 the work of your fingers,2 the moon and the stars,3 which you have set in place,
4what is mankind that you are mindful of them, human beings that you care for them?a1
5You have made thema a little lower than the angelsb1 and crowned themc with glory and honor.2
6You made them rulers1 over the works of your hands;2 you put everything under theira feet:3
7all flocks and herds,1 and the animals of the wild,2
8the birds in the sky, and the fish in the sea,1 all that swim the paths of the seas.
9Lord, our Lord, how majestic is your name in all the earth!1
