How majestic is your name!

1
O LORD, our Lord, how majestic is Your name in all the earth! You have set Your glory above the heavens.
2
From the mouths of children and infants You have ordained praise (a) on account of Your adversaries, to silence the enemy and avenger.
3
When I behold Your heavens, the work of Your fingers, the moon and the stars, which You have set in place—
4
what is man that You are mindful of him, or the son of man that You care for him?
5
You made him a little lower than the angels;(b) You crowned him with glory and honor.
6
You made him ruler of the works of Your hands; You have placed everything under his feet:(c)
7
all sheep and oxen, and even the beasts of the field,
8
the birds of the air and the fish of the sea, all that swim the paths of the seas.
9
O LORD, our Lord, how majestic is Your name in all the earth!
