The Glory of the Lord in Creation
To the Chief Musician. On the instrument of Gath. A Psalm of David.
1 O LORD, our LORD, how excellent is Your name in all the earth, who have set Your glory above the Heavens!
2 Out of the mouth of babes and nursing infants You have ordained strength, because of Your enemies, that You may silence the enemy and the avenger.
3 When I consider Your heavens, and the works of Your fingers, the moon and the stars, which You have ordained,
4 What is man that You are mindful of him, and the son of man that You visit him?
5 For You have made him a little lower than the angels, and You have crowned him with glory and honor.
6 You have made him to have dominion over the works of Your hands; You have put all things under his feet,
7 All sheep and oxen – even the beasts of the field,
8 The birds of the air, and the fish of the sea that pass through the paths of the seas.
9 O LORD, our LORD, How excellent is YOUR NAME in all the earth.
