1 Our Lord and Ruler,your name is wonderfuleverywhere on earth!You let your glory be seenin the heavens above.
2 With praises from childrenand from tiny infants,you have built a fortress.It makes your enemies silent,and all who turn against youare left speechless.
3 I often think of the heavensyour hands have made,and of the moon and starsyou put in place.
4 Then I ask, “Why do you careabout us humans?Why are you concernedfor us weaklings?”
5 You made us a little lowerthan you yourself,and you have crowned uswith glory and honour.
6 You let us rule everythingyour hands have made.And you put all of itunder our power—
7 the sheep and the cattle,and every wild animal,
8 the birds in the sky,the fish in the sea,and all ocean creatures.
9 Our Lord and Ruler,your name is wonderfuleverywhere on earth!
