| O Lord, our Lord, in all the earth,How excellent Thy Name!
 Thy glory Thou hast spread afar
 In all the starry frame.
 From lips of children, Thou, O Lord,Hast mighty strength ordained,
 That adversaries should be stilled
 And vengeful foes restrained.
 When I regard the wondrous heavens,Thy handiwork on high,
 The moon and stars ordained by Thee,
 Oh, what is man! I cry.
 Oh, what is man, in Thy regardTo hold so large a place!
 And what the son of man, that Thou
 Dost visit him in grace!
 For Thou hast made him little lessThan Thy blest angels be;
 With honor Thou hast crowned his head
 And glorious dignity.
 On man Thy wisdom hath bestowedA pow’r well nigh divine;
 With honor Thou hast crowned his head
 With glory like to Thine.
 Thou hast subjected all to him,And lord of all is he,
 Of flocks and herds, and beasts and birds,
 And all within the sea.
 Thy mighty works and wondrous graceThy glory, Lord, proclaim.
 O Lord, our Lord, in all the earth
 How excellent Thy Name!
