[1]O LORD, our Lord, how excellent is thy name in all the earth! who hast set thy glory above the heavens. [No book]
[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. [No book]
[3]When I consider thy heavens, the work of thy fingers, the moon and the stars, which thou hast ordained; [No book]
[4]What is man, that thou art mindful of him? and the son of man, that thou visitest him? [No book]
[5]For thou hast made him a little lower than the angels, and hast crowned him with glory and honour. [No book]
[6]Thou madest him to have dominion over the works of thy hands; thou hast put all things under his feet: [No book]
[7]All sheep and oxen, yea, and the beasts of the field; [No book]
[8]The fowl of the air, and the fish of the sea, and whatsoever passeth through the paths of the seas. [No book]
[9]O LORD our Lord, how excellent is thy name in all the earth! [No book]
