| 5You made him little less than God and crowned him with glory and honor. | 5For thou hast made him a little lower than the angels, and hast crowned him with glory and honour. |

| 9Yahweh, our Lord, how magnificent is Your name throughout the earth! | 9O LORD our Lord, how excellent is thy name in all the earth! |
