How Majestic Is Your Name!
81Yahweh, our Lord, how majestic is your name in all the earth,who has set your glory above the heavens!+2From the lips of babes and infants you have established strength,because of your adversaries, that you might silence the enemy and the avenger.+3When I consider your heavens, the work of your fingers,the moon and the stars, which you have ordained;+4what is man, that you think of him?What is the son of man, that you care for him?+5For you have made him a little lower than the angels,and crowned him with glory and honor.+6You make him ruler over the works of your hands.You have put all things under his feet:+7All sheep and cattle,yes, and the animals of the field,+8The birds of the sky, the fish of the sea,and whatever passes through the paths of the seas.+9Yahweh, our Lord,how majestic is your name in all the earth!+Footnotes (1)
