2O Lord, our Lord, how wonderful is thy name in all the earth! for thy magnificence is exalted above the heavens.
2O Lord our Lord, how excellent is thy name in all the earth! who hast set thy glory above the heavens.
3Out of the mouth of babes and sucklings hast thou perfected praise, because of thine enemies; that thou mightest put down the enemy and avenger.
3Out of the mouth of babes and sucklings hast thou ordained strength because of thine enemies, that thou mightest still the enemy and the avenger.
4For I will regard the heavens, the work of thy fingers; the moon and stars, which thou hast established.
4When I consider thy heavens, the work of thy fingers, the moon and the stars, which thou hast ordained;
5What is man, that thou art mindful of him? or the son of man, that thou visitest him?
5What is man, that thou art mindful of him? and the son of man, that thou visitest him?
6Thou madest him a little less than angels, thou hast crowned him with glory and honour;
6For thou hast made him a little lower than the angels, and hast crowned him with glory and honour.
7and thou hast set him over the works of thy hands: thou hast put all things under his feet:
7Thou madest him to have dominion over the works of thy hands; thou hast put all things under his feet:
8sheep and all oxen, yea, and the cattle of the field;
8All sheep and oxen, yea, and the beasts of the field;
9the birds of the sky, and the fish of the sea, the [creatures] passing through the paths of the sea.
9The fowl of the air, and the fish of the sea, and whatsoever passeth through the paths of the seas.
10O Lord our Lord, how wonderful is thy name in all the earth!
10O Lord our Lord, how excellent is thy name in all the earth!
