1 O Lord, our Lord, whose glory is higher than the heavens, how noble is your name in all the earth!
1O Lord our Lord, how excellent is thy name in all the earth! who hast set thy glory above the heavens.
2You have made clear your strength even out of the mouths of babies at the breast, because of those who are against you; so that you may put to shame the cruel and violent man.
2Out of the mouth of babes and sucklings hast thou ordained strength because of thine enemies, that thou mightest still the enemy and the avenger.
3When I see your heavens, the work of your fingers, the moon and the stars, which you have put in their places;
3When I consider thy heavens, the work of thy fingers, the moon and the stars, which thou hast ordained;
4What is man, that you keep him in mind? the son of man, that you take him into account?
4What is man, that thou art mindful of him? and the son of man, that thou visitest him?
5For you have made him only a little lower than the gods, crowning him with glory and honour.
5For thou hast made him a little lower than the angels, and hast crowned him with glory and honour.
6You have made him ruler over the works of your hands; you have put all things under his feet;
6Thou madest him to have dominion over the works of thy hands; thou hast put all things under his feet:
7All sheep and oxen, and all the beasts of the field;
7All sheep and oxen, yea, and the beasts of the field;
