How Majestic Is Your Name!

1To the Overseer, `On the Gittith.' A Psalm of David. Jehovah, our Lord, How honourable Thy name in all the earth! Who settest thine honour on the heavens.+ 2From the mouths of infants and sucklings Thou hast founded strength, Because of Thine adversaries, To still an enemy and a self-avenger.+ 3For I see Thy heavens, a work of Thy fingers, Moon and stars that Thou didst establish.+ 4What is man that Thou rememberest him? The son of man that Thou inspectest him?+ 5And causest him to lack a little of Godhead, And with honour and majesty compassest him.+ 6Thou dost cause him to rule Over the works of Thy hands, All Thou hast placed under his feet.+ 7Sheep and oxen, all of them, And also beasts of the field,+ 8Bird of the heavens, and fish of the sea, Passing through the paths of the seas!+ 9Jehovah, our Lord, How honourable Thy name in all the earth!+
