[[To him that excelleth on Gittith.] A Psalm Chapter of David.]
[1] O Lord our Lord, how excellent is thy name in all the world! Which hast set thy glory above the heavens.
[2] Out of the mouth of babes and sucklings hast thou ordained strength, because of thine enemies, that thou mightest still the enemy and the avenger.
[3] When I behold thine heavens , even the works of thy fingers, the moon and the stars which thou hast ordained,
[4] What is man, say I, that thou art mindful of him? And the son of man, that thou visitest him?
[5] For thou hast made him a little lower than God, and crowned him with glory and worship.
[6] Thou hast made him to have dominion in the works of thine hands. thou hast put all things under his feet:
[7] All sheep and oxen: yea, and the beasts of the field:
[8] The fowls of the air, and the fish of the sea, and that which passeth through the paths of the seas.
[9] O Lord our Lord, how excellent is thy name in all the world!
