**1 **\{To the chief Musician upon Gittith, A Psalm of David.} O LORD our Lord, how excellent *is* thy name in all the earth! who 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 consider thy heavens, the work of thy fingers, the moon and the stars, which thou hast ordained;

**4 **What is man, 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 the angels, and hast crowned him with glory and honour.

**6 **Thou madest him to have dominion over the works of thy hands; thou hast put all *things* under his feet:

**7 **All sheep and oxen, yea, and the beasts of the field;

**8 **The fowl of the air, and the fish of the sea, *and whatsoever* passeth through the paths of the seas.

**9 **O LORD our Lord, how excellent *is* thy name in all the earth!
