How Majestic Is Your Name!

1O LORD, our Lord, how majestic is Your name in all the earth! You have set Your glory above the heavens.+ 2From the mouths of children and infants You have ordained praise on account of Your adversaries, to silence the enemy and avenger.+ 3When I behold Your heavens, the work of Your fingers, the moon and the stars, which You have set in place —+ 4what is man that You are mindful of him, or the son of man that You care for him?+ 5You made him a little lower than the angels; You crowned him with glory and honor.+ 6You made him ruler of the works of Your hands; You have placed everything under his feet:+ 7all sheep and oxen, and even the beasts of the field,+ 8the birds of the air and the fish of the sea, all that swim the paths of the seas.+ 9O LORD, our Lord, how majestic is Your name in all the earth!+
