To the chief Musician upon Gittith, A Psalm of David.

1O LORD, our LORD, how excellent is Your name in all the earth, You have set Your glory above the heavens! 2Out of the mouth of babes and infants You have ordained praise and strength because of Your enemies, that You might silence the enemy and all who are vengeful.

3When I consider Your heavens, the work of Your fingers, the moon and the stars, which You have ordained, 4What is man, that You are mindful of him? And the son of man, that You care about him? 5For You have made him a little lower than the angels, and have crowned him with glory and honor. 6You have given him dominion over the works of Your hands; You have put all things under his feet: 7All sheep and oxen, and the beasts of the field, 8The fowl of the air, and the fish of the sea, and whatever swims through the paths of the seas. 9O LORD, our LORD, how majestic is Your name in all the earth!
