1. 1 O LORD, our Lord, how majestic Your name is!
How great is Your name in all of the earth!
You settled Your glory above the high heavens,
2 And silenced Your foes through a child in its birth.
2. 3 I think of the heavens, the work of Your fingers,
The moon and the stars which You have ordained:
4 What is man in Your memory, a man that You mind Him,
The son of a man that You care for him?
3. 5 You made him a creature who’s just below angels,
And crowned him with honor and glory,
6 You gave him dominion o’er all of creation,
7 All beasts of the field are under his feet:
4. 8 All under the earth, all that fly in the heavens,
And all of the beasts in the paths of the sea.
9 O LORD, our Lord, how majestic Your name is!
How great is Your name in all of the earth!
