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

a Ps. 81; 84, title. 1Sa. 17.
1

O LORD our Lord, bhow excellent is thy name in all the earth! who hast set thy glory above the heavens.

2

cOut of the mouth of babes and sucklings hast thou 1ordained strength because of thine enemies, that thou mightest dstill the enemy and the avenger.

3

When I econsider thy heavens, the work of thy fingers, the moon and the stars, which thou hast ordained;

4

fWhat is man, that thou art mindful of him? and the son of man, that thou visitest him?

5

For gthou hast made him a little lower than the angels, and hast crowned him with glory and honour.

6

Thou hmadest him to have dominion over the works of thy hands; thou hast put all things under his feet:

7

2All sheep and oxen, yea, and the beasts of the field;

8

The fowl of the air, and the fish of the sea, and whatsoever passeth through the paths of the seas.

9

iO LORD our Lord, jhow excellent is thy name in all the earth!
