| 1 | {To the chief Musician. Upon the Gittith. A Psalm of David.} Jehovah our Lord, how excellent is thy name in all the earth! who hast set thy majesty above the heavens. |
| 2 | Out of the mouth of babes and sucklings hast thou established praise because of thine adversaries, to still the enemy and the avenger. |
| 3 | When I see thy heavens, the work of thy fingers, the moon and stars, which thou hast established; |
| 4 | What is man, that thou art mindful of him? and the son of man, that thou visitest him? |
| 5 | Thou hast made him a little lower than the angels, and hast crowned him with glory and splendour. |
| 6 | Thou hast made him to rule over the works of thy hands; thou hast put everything under his feet: |
| 7 | Sheep and oxen, all of them, and also the beasts of the field; |
| 8 | The fowl of the heavens, and the fishes of the sea, [whatever] passeth through the paths of the seas. |
| 9 | Jehovah our Lord, how excellent is thy name in all the earth! |
