King James Version 1769 including Apocrypha

- Chapter 8 -

How majestic is your name!

1
O Lord our Lord, how excellent is thy name in all the earth! who hast set thy glory above the heavens.
2
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.(a)
3
When I consider thy heavens, the work of thy fingers, the moon and the stars, which thou hast ordained;
4
What is man, that thou art mindful of him? and the son of man, that thou visitest him?
5
For thou hast made him a little lower than the angels, and hast crowned him with glory and honour.
6
Thou madest him to have dominion over the works of thy hands; thou hast put all things under his feet:
7
All sheep and oxen, yea, and the beasts of the field;(b)
8
The fowl of the air, and the fish of the sea, and whatsoever passeth through the paths of the seas.
9
O Lord our Lord, how excellent is thy name in all the earth!
