Compare with Version:

¹ To the Chief Musician. On the instrument of Gath. A Psalm of David. [1] O LORD, our Lord, How [1†]excellent is Your name in all the earth, Who have [2†]set Your glory above the heavens!

² [3†]Out of the mouth of babes and nursing infants You have ordained strength, Because of Your enemies, That You may silence [4†]the enemy and the avenger.

³ When I [5†]consider Your heavens, the work of Your fingers, The moon and the stars, which You have ordained,

⁴ [6†]What is man that You are mindful of him, And the son of man that You [7†]visit him?

⁵ For You have made him a little lower than the angels, And You have crowned him with glory and honor.

⁶ [8†]You have made him to have dominion over the works of Your hands; [9†]You have put all things under his feet,

⁷ All sheep and oxen— Even the beasts of the field,

⁸ The birds of the air, And the fish of the sea That pass through the paths of the seas.

⁹ [10†]O LORD, our Lord, How excellent is Your name in all the earth!
