1To him that excelleth on Gittith. A Psalme of Dauid. O Lord our Lord, how excellent is thy Name in all the worlde! which hast set thy glory aboue the heauens.

2Out of the mouth of babes and suckelings hast thou ordeined strength, because of thine enemies, that thou mightest still the enemie and the auenger.

3When I beholde thine heauens, euen the workes of thy fingers, the moone and the starres which thou hast ordeined,

4What is man, say I, that thou art mindefull of him? and the sonne of man, that thou visitest him?

5For thou hast made him a little lower then God, and crowned him with glory and worship.

6Thou hast made him to haue dominion in the workes of thine hands: thou hast put all things vnder his feete:

7All sheepe and oxen: yea, and the beastes of the fielde:

8The foules of the ayre, and the fish of the sea, and that which passeth through the paths of the seas.

9O Lord our Lord, howe excellent is thy Name in all the world!
