How Majestic Is Your Name!

For the choirmaster. According to Gittith.[fn] A Psalm of David.

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[fn]

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;[fn]

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:[fn]

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!
