the heavens. Out of the mouth of babes and sucklings hast

thou ordained strength because of thine enemies, that thou mightest still the enemy and the

avenger. When I consider thy heavens, the work of thy

fingers, the moon and the stars, which thou hast ordained;

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

For thou hast made him a little lower than the angels, and hast crowned him with glory

and honour. Thou madest him to have dominion over the

works of thy hands; thou hast put all things under his feet:

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

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

the seas. O Lord our Lord, how excellent is thy name

in all the earth!
